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.

OK, I'm not sure what I ran this week as I've not been tracking my distances and I've been squeezing it in between work meetings. (Good thing I telecommute...P.U.)

Tomorrow I do the Nashville Ultra. I'm a bit nervous driving up there by myself. It's only a 6 hour drive but I'm not able to leave until 4PM. The race starts at 7AM so I don't think I'll be getting much sleep. I did sleep LOTS last night so that should take care of it. I've packed up bagels for breakfast tomorrow.

Details on the race - its a 50K, 60K, 70K, 80k (50 miles). I'm signed up for the 50K. The race is only giving out prizes to the top male/female in each race. There are 14 people signed up for the 50K and just one person signed up for the 60K. I think I can run 6.2 more miles to place. I met a wonderful woman in Memphis this past summer at another ultra who will be at this race as well. She too has the same idea....and she's faster. Dang. I really hope she doesn't make me go 70K for a winners fleece jacket. hmmmm, perhaps I can just trip her at the end. Ha!

You are amazing! Good luck on your race. Can you run a different distance than you registered for if you want to?

I hope the race went well and I am anxiously awaiting your report!!! Maybe one of these days you can talk me into running that long, but not for a fleece jacket!!

I hope she did not push you to the 70k (I am doing the math here, like 43 and some change miles?? WOW!) I think the tripping would be easier, as long as there is no walker or cane involved!!
