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!

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.

The humidity was below 90% this morning. We ran about 90 seconds per mile faster than our normal summer pace. I was trying to keep up with a faster running friend. I was noticing that I was sucking wind as usual but due to the lack of humidity it didn't seem to feel as awful as it normally does.

Hey Deb. How's it going?

Hi Burt! Thanks for the post. I forgot all about this site.

How is your running going?

It's only been 13 months since you posted. How can you forget?? LOL! My running sucks. This year between my work schedule, the heat, and all my stupid injuries, I don't even think I've run 200 miles.

I can't say I've been doing much either. I went into a couple of ultras under trained and got my bottom kicked all over the place.

It is a good thing I check my athletic pride in a long time ago as each of those races were very humbling. It still hurts being beat by a one legged lady.

Ouch. Lesson learned, I guess. :)
