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.

Tuesdays are a standing 5 miles of hills at 5AM.  My partner was a little bit late this morning and I was ready to drive back home (only partially disappointed).  We run in some areas that isn't the best place for a single female to run so I was ready to return home and do a few miles in my own neighborhood.  Luckily just as I was giving up on him **poof** there he was.

 We had a great morning with cool 55 degree temps.  The sky was clear and stars/moon were bright. I think he has taken it upon himself to make me a faster runner...even if it kills me.  Today we finished our run averaging a 30 second per mile faster than last week.  I was thankful that I didn't embarrass myself today. :)

It's awesome to have someone that will push you to your limits :)
