Running Accomplishments:

My accomplishment to date completing 15 marathons and 6 ultras....nothing fast....yet.

Short-Term Running Goals:

In the next 2 years I'd like to complete three 50 milers and a hundred miler before I turn 40.  I'd like to break 5 hour marathon and then a 4:45 marathon and then keep improving.  I’m starting to think I’ll hit 100 miles before I see a sub 5 hour marathon…..Geez.

Fifty miler #1:  2008 JFK 50  13:29:53

#2 Hearland 50  13:51 (got lost had to find road back)

#Bethel Hill Moonlight Boogie  June 12, 2010...very soon

Two down....one more to go!

Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to run 100 miles.

Personal:

I've got two wonderful kids who are 6 and 8.  I want to pass on the joy of running.

Today I did my standard 5:15 AM run with my 68 y/o running partner. The recent weather has been perfect.  I'm not sure it was even 70 when we started and the humidty is under 100 percent. 

We named a few more hills as well took on some new ones.  We ran a few of last weeks hills backwards so that the one we named "easy hill" really was.  However it really stunk once we got to the bottom. Easy hill has a twin brother named S.O.B.  That by the way stands for shortness of breath. :)

I've got to say that I've got mixed feelings about these early morning runs.  I'm planning my night and now I have an extra hour and some in my schedule becuase I don't need to workout/shower.  That said, I'm still a weeeeee bit tired from getting up at 4:45 this morning. 

I think I'll try and catch some winks early this evening and try for another early run tomorrow.
