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.

One more day of feeling like poop. I feel like I probably could at least do 3-5 miles but might just fall on my face somewhere along the roadside.

Week 2 recap:

Tues: 0 miles

Wed: 8 miles

Thur 6: miles

Sat & Sun: 0 miles

I think it is safe to say that this week was a total wash in terms of training! I'll try this again next week. Tues-4, Wed-8, Thur-6, Sat-16, Sun-8

5:30 AM - Although it was toooooo early to be out running I'm really glad to have the free time at night to enjoy my family.

So far Week 3 is on schedule

4:30 AM - I will no longer make a negative comment about 5:30 AM being too early. I have noticed that I run slower in the morning than in the evening.

It is odd how I can run in my neighborhood post 10 PM in my neighborhood and feel safe yet first thing in the morning I'm paranoid like crazy. I read somewhere that assults happen just as frequently in the early morning runs as the late night runs. It must be the lack of coffee. My brain must be making up reasons for me to be back home with a cup of java in hand.

8 miles were on schedule today but only 7 miles were accomplished.

Finally, an evening run!!! Yippie!!!

One of my Saturday morning running partners came over to join me on my 6 miler today. We decided to do a couple of miles off road on a trail by my house.

I wish all runs felt as great as they did today. The weather is amazing, the neighborhood is still blooming with flowers and looks beautiful (which you can't see at 5:30AM), and the company was outstanding. The pace seemed comfortable and easy. Now I remember why I do this!

6 miles on the schedule ... 6 miles accomplished! Sweet!!!

6:45 AM. Temps at end of run 84.

This was an odd run. No one from my normal Saturday group showed up. Weird. I must have missed the memo. So I did 19 miles on my own. I had 16 on the sched for today and 8 for tomorrow. My original thought was just to do all the mileage and take tomorrow off. I just got tired (and hot) after 19 and called it a day.
