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.

So to escape the humidity I decided to run in the evening.  I see the choices are basically run in the morning when the temps are high 70s and nearly 100% humidity or run at night where the temps are 99 and humidity is 62%.  Honestly, they both make for a challenging run.

I had got up early this morn and had a busy day at work.  I finally made it out of the house around 9PM.  I had decided earlier in the day that I wanted to do 6 miles today.  I was soooooooo tired just before I went out for a run.  So to remedy that I downed a red bull and left.  It was still sooooo hot.  I had to sit down after 3.6 miles to cool off.

I ran into our neighborhood watch while I was out.  It was very comforting to see we actually have one and we do more than just post signs.

I made it back home and sat under the ceiling fan until my internal thermostat finally felt normal. I finally hit the sack around 11PM and slept like a baby.
