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, I chickened out. I only had 19 miles under my belt as my longest long run and that course is tough. I ran it 2 years ago and know that I'd kill myself or DNF. So kids and I went up and spent the weekend volunteering at the race instead.

Today however, I felt compelled to keep moving forward with my training that seems to have slacked. Dang. I was shooting for 22 miles but called it a day just after 20. I ran out of drink and it was 88 degrees. I'm going to shoot for 25 this weekend.

PM run. There seems to be a 20-25 degree difference between AM running and PM running.

I had an early start this morning so most of my miles were in sub 80 degree weather. My garmin tells me that post 80 degrees adds time to my mileage. My Saturday group ran 10 of these miles with me. Thank goodness. I like to run but some days the long runs can get so monotonous if I do them by myself.

On a more personal note, I had to use the bathroom so badly that I actually went into a Porto potty on a construction site. I'm not sure but I think that nasty experience (and smell) shorten my life span by 6 weeks. Yuck!
