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)

#3 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.

did my long run in the evening. I maced my first dog tonight. Luckily for me it was a nice dog....not that I wanted to mace a nice dog. I was so freak that I pushed the mace button so hard that it slipped down in my hand and I only ended up macing my hand. The dog jumped up and gave me some sloppy kisses. Whew.

Moving on, I opened up my water bottle and immediatley felt like I just put on jalepeno chapstick. Yep, this goober opened up the water bottled with the maced hand. I hope you guys find that amusing as I did. I cracked myself up on the rest of the run with my fire lips. I thought about greeting dear hubby with big kiss....but that just seemed too mean. :)

Not a very fast run tonight. 12:20 min mile average. I'll blame some of it on the dogs....mostly I feel like I was sucking tonight. I'll try again tomorrow (short run) and try and recapture some confidence.

So mace feels like jalapenos, eh. That is an amuzing anecdote. I hope you got it all washed off.

So the dog turned out to be friendly after all? Was the dog's owner around anywhere?

Nah, dog's owner not around. It kept me company for about 3 miles. I felt bad when it nearly got hit by a car in my neighborhood. It had a collar but no ID on it.

Also, the spray residue leaves slight first degree burn on your skin if you don't wash it off quickly enough...ouch.
