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.

Tonight I hit the treadmill on base for 5 miles. Man, what a treat. It's still hot and muggy down here in GA so a run in a AC building with a TV on in front of me was like a workout in Disney World.

I'm not a sports fan but I did get to catch the Eagles/Cowboys game last night while ...what an exciting game. Five miles were done quicker than I could imagine.

One thought that keeps bugging me is my long run this weekend. How far? Do I go with what is on my training schedule or do I do the mileage I missed due to a bug 2 weekends ago. Well, the good news is that I still have a few more days to decide.

Happy running friends!

I'm glad you enjoyed your treadmill run. I can't tell you what to do about your long run, but I suspect it's better to go with what's on your training schedule. Maybe more experienced voices will chime in.

Hi! Great miles and GREAT marathons and ultras! WOW! Very impressive! Holy smokes! I bet the AC feels really great down there! There is so little humidity here in Utah than my skin is falling off! I love visiting FL, cause my skin is so nice :) How is the weather?

Weather is cooler (and wet) today. Must be what is left of Hurricane Ike. Thank goodness.

I lived in Tucson for nearly 3 years. I think I went through a bottle of lotion a week becuase the air was so dry. I feel for you Utah folks.
