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.

Tonight I had a 4 mile fun run this wonderful balmy GA evening.  The evening weather has dipped back into the mid 80s and so has the humidity. Hooray!  I really wish I had the drive to run first thing in the AM other than on Saturdays. It's so much nicer early morning.

Does anyone else have the same case of "Bed Back"?  This is where your bed has a magnetic pull on your back forcing you to remain in bed.

I had to laugh at your description of "Bed Back." I've trained myself to get out of bed at 5:30, but I'm having trouble switching it to 5:00. I managed to do it yesterday, but today I hit the snooze alarm until 5:30.

I don't enjoy getting up early. It's just that I have no chance of getting out running in the evening with all the kid stuff I've got going on. So it's early morning or nothing.
