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.

 I had an early start this morning so most of my miles were in sub 80 degree weather.  My garmin tells me that post 80 degrees adds time to my mileage.  My Saturday group ran 10 of these miles with me.  Thank goodness.  I like to run but some days the long runs can get so monotonous if I do them by myself.

On a more personal note, I had to use the bathroom so badly that I actually went into a Porto potty on a construction site.  I'm not sure but I think that nasty experience (and smell) shorten my life span by 6 weeks.  Yuck!

stinky or not, it beats the heck out of having to drop trow right off the side of the road (i actually talked to the guys that passed me in the race where this happened to me...we all thought it was pretty funny)

OK, agreed. Smelly beats exposing bare bum to construction workers 11 AM anyday.
