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.

We all decided to start on the eight o'clock hour instead of the six as some of the runners had a late evening. Our group leader seems to have had an agenda as we busted our bums during this run.....or perhaps the holiday fluff I've put on has made the effort seem greater. I'm not going to look at the scale for another week so I'll only guess it is the latter.

I hope everyone had a safe and happy new years!

I had a very special treat today. My son ran with me .85 miles. We were hoping to reach the 1 mile mark but I'm still happy his 6 year old legs would come out with me. He seems to have 2 speeds. Very fast/full throttle and exhaustion. We did a 30/30 second walk/run ratio. On his run he would do a 8-8:15 min mile pace. On the walk break he would suck in all the air his little lungs could handle.

Noah got so excited to run with Mom that he drew a Garmin on his arm to be like Mom.

Next my 8 year old daughter joined me for the next round. Again we did a 30/30 walk/run ratio. Madi is my companion and is always a joy to run (or walk) with. She has the gift of being chatty and keeps the conversation and her little legs moving along at a good clip. She and I finished our run about the 1.6 mile mark.

Today is the standing Tuesday 5 miles at 5AM...well actually we start at 5:15....we do need to sleep in a bit. ;0)

The weather hung at the 35 degree mark but with no wind it actually felt good and I realized that I was overdressed and was sweating like it was summer. The irony of that kept me amused...of course it takes very little to amuse me when I'm sleep walking like this. Actually I had a song (slightly revised) playing in my head. "I can run for miles and miles, I can run for miles and miles and miles and miles."

If I were really motivated I'd get up tomorrow and do a repeat performance. That said, I know there is no one waiting for me and the weather man says it will be raining in the morning. Cold and wet? I think I might want to invest in a tread mill.

It was another 5 at 5. This time solo. I find it is harder to get up and run at 5AM when there is no one expecting you to show up.

We are having unexpectantly beautiful weather right now. This mornings run was a bit foggy but temps were in the mid to upper 40's.
