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.

I really didn't thing I had any miles in me today after yesterdays trail run. I had 8 miles on tonight's schedule but at 10:15PM I decided to call it a night before the hubby got too freaked out about me still being out.   Still, I felt stronger than I thought I would have during the entire run.

This week's schedule...

Monday: off - very nice

Tues: 4 miles

Wed: 8 miles

Thur: 6 miles

Friday: Off

Sat: 16 mile

Sun: 8 miles 

Total weekly mileage: 42 

I'm pretty confident I can hit those marks except for Wed.  I'm not sure I'll have any free time in one chunk to do all those miles.  Perhaps I can split it up into 4 in the AM and 4 in the PM 

I have been reading about the pushup/situp/pullup blog challenge that fast running bloggers are trying and writing about.  What a challenge!  http://Samantha.fastrunningblog.com/blog--No-run-day-I-am-seeing-my-physio-early/04-07-2010.html

I think I'd die trying all 3 at the same time so I'll opt for the 200 sit-ups.  I'll let you know how it goes.

Up and running by 4:30 AM.  I wanted to be sure to finish the run AND have family time tonight. I've decided that my Tues and Wed runs will be in the awful hours of pre-dawn.

I finally got out the door around 8:30 this evening.  The run was really nice as I've not heard this one bird for several months now.  A whip-poor-will?  Anyways, it was just nice to hear it once again.  The toads are out all over the road.  As I was running something caught my eye and spooked me as it darted away.....a rabbit.  It startled the bee-gee-bees out of me.  I had to laugh as it reminded me of some old monty python movie where a killer white rabbit was taking out everyone.  Search for the holy grail perhaps?

I have 16 on schedule to day and 8 for tomorrow.  I had decided to leave my house early and run the 9.5 miles down to a 5K that my friend was the RD.  I'd run the race and then run back.  The goal was to knock both days out in one run.  Sadly, yesterday I was knocked out on my bum with something not quite so bad as the flu.  I woke up 3:15 AM feeling even worse.  I spent most of the day in bed.
