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)

#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.

No running today as we have family visiting from out of town. I finanlly put together my training schedule for the next 13 weeks leading to the JFK 50 miler. I've taken it too easy since my last race - 50K on 8/2. I'll start back into my training mode tomorrow.

I've spent the last 4 weeks floundering so I can't even begin to say how excited and relieved I am to have a schedule once again. I'm not sure what it is about having a schedule but it always motivates me to get out the door. I think it is just the fact I know I have a direction and a plan.

I just found this site and I'm going to pass the link on to my friends. What I like most about good friends is the fact they feel perfectly comfortable chewing you bum if you miss a training run due to the case of the lazys. Yes my Elvis bobble head race partner, you know I'm talking about you.

If you folks out in blog land can lend any support or provide helpful advice than please do. Somewhere between now and November 22 I will inevitable fall into a "why am I doing this" slump. It's just nice to have someone else say "it's OK, now shut up and run!"

So tomorrow I've got an easy 20 miler on my schedule to start my training. I'm going to take it easy just so I can prove it to myself that I've not slipped too far back in my training.

Happy running friends!

My normal household of 4 has grown to 9 people this weekend. Needless to say I welcomed this run with open arms. I love our company but I'm exhausted from cooking/cleaning dishes for everyone.

My Garmin was in the room where some folks were sleeping so I decided to run for time rather than actual distance. I figured 4 hours should put me at the 20 mile mark. What an excellent run! I found some new trails at the end of a neighborhood I've never run before. I was having a blast until the 3rd full face spider web hit took place. The roads didn't seem so bad after that.

I made it back home and my sis in law wanted to try running so we went out for another 35 minutes around the neighborhood. She kept apologizing for going slow....geez, I was just glad to keep up with her. I have to brag on her for a moment - she has lost 60 lbs since Jan 1.

Thanks Kelli for putting me on your watch list so you can help keep me faithful to my training.
