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)

#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.

OK, as I was running (in the evening) I had to laugh at my previous post. I'm not sure why I thought I'd make it up in time for a long run before church. Especially after I grabbed a beer and watched the last half of Shawshank Redemption and hit the rack around 11:30.

So, I did 10 miles this evening. It's been a very long time since I've done a long run solo. Whew, it didn't kill me. Actually, it was kinda nice. I don't think I'd like to do it every weekend but it was nice to set my own pace and go. I've managed to knock about 20 seconds per mile off of my last group run. (About 2 min per mile from the half marathon last week...sheesh!)

This will be an easy week coming up. I've got an ultra this weekend and I'm so stoked about it! I can't wait to share it with y'all

Below are pictures from the 5K. The lady in the black next to my daughter (in the orange skirt) was my dear friend who threw the race so Madi could have an adult close by at all times....what a good friend.

The other picture is my son and his ride.

Great run. I've been running in my trail shoes the last couple of runs and have developed a blister on the arch of my foot. Ouch. It's on the sweet meat. Give me a blister any where else please!

My average pace tonight was 11:27 w/HR of 161. I think I'm finally starting to improve. Yippee!

OK, I feel lame. I only did 2.5 miles. Actually it was a bit less but I'm gonna round up. I did however average a 10:30 min mile....but I'll save the celebration for when I average that pace on a distance further than this.

You know, if it is not Sat I can not get my lazy bum out of bed for a run. I went to bed early last night, set out my shoes, watch, reflective belt, iPod, etc. I had all intentions of waking up and running at 5AM. Instead I get up around 3AM, do some bathroom business, turn off my alarm and go back to bed.

I didn't hit the road tonight until 9:30 PM. I was pooped. I probably wouldn't have gone out except Prez will be looking at my training log to ensure I don't go more than 1 day between runs. I will get some razzing for the whopping 26ish minutes of running.

I will however be taking the next two days off. Call it my taper before the race on Sunday. I'm not worried about finishing 34 miles...I'll get there eventually. However, a friend will be there and I have to look strong as I run the race....even if it kills me. Dang Pride.
