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.

5:15 AM. Still very humid this morning. I started off slow mostly because I was still half asleep. I made an effort to speed up each half mile. I was mostly successful. It was really nice to get this out of the way so I can now enjoy the rest of the day.

Does enjoying the rest of the day mean taking a nap? Because that's what inevitably happens to me every time I get up that early to go running.

I always start out slowly.

I think we have a bigger differential between high and low temperatures here in Colorado than you do because our humidity is lower. Humidity tends to hold in the heat over night.

You know, I DID try and take a nap today. :) Sadly, phone kept ringing, dog kept barking, and sick kid kept needing help. (She's feeling better now).

I'll just have to call it an early night
