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.

PM run.  There seems to be a 20-25 degree difference between AM running and PM running.

The temperature is much hotter at night. But, the humidity seems 100 times worse then too. Morning runs are where it is at if you can pry yourself out of bed. I, personally, don't have the strength to do that 99.99% of the time.

i always face the conundrum: do i want to run slow because i'm not awake yet (AM running), or do i want to run slow because the heat sucks the energy right out of me (PM running)...

my answer is usually to go run slow.

john, you don't know what slow is.

i beg to differ; i've run races where my average pace was 16:49/mile.

i'm very acquainted with truly slow running...

John, running a 16:46 mile pace up Pikes Peak doesn't count.
