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.

What a great night!!  The temps were low 80's and so was the humidity.  Can it be that we are getting a brief break from summer?  Could this be the start of fall weather?? 

I ran to a Pod Runner I've never used before.  It was a step mix.  The music break down was like this: 10 min - 150 BPM,  10 min - 160 BPM, 10 min - 170 BPM, 10 min - 160 BPM, 10 min - 150 BPM, and then 10 min even slower for cool off.  (BPM = beats per minute). 

I finished my run a few minutes sooner than normal. I was really very excited!  This is one of those nights when everything clicked together.  Good temps, good humidity, good music, good run.

For anyone that doesn't know, Podrunner is free workout music.  You can use your iTunes to download to your iPod or go the DJ's webpage and download it in mp3 format.  There are several (3+ years worth) workout mixes to choose from.  You can choose fast workout music for tempo runs or slower mixes for the long slow runs.
