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.

Went out for a quick run with no garmin, no watch, no way to measure how long I was out or how long I went.  I zig-zagged my normal routes so I'm guessing I went about 3 miles this evening.

I'm listening to Jim Butcher's book First Lord's Fury.  This is book 6 in the fantasy series. Wow, good book and a fun run!

Evening run - not quite dark.  Podrunner's Native Sun mix playing.  Humid as heck.  

I just had one very interesting running partner this evening.  My neighborhood is on the outskirts of town so we have lots of forest land just outside my neighborhood.  This brings a lot of wildlife out onto our streets early in the morning and at dark.  I see the normal animals when I run: dogs, cats, occasionally I see possum, raccoon, or an armadillo.  Tonight for nearly a mile I was accompanied by a bat.  Seriously a bat!  It was flying up and down the street above my head. Often it would dive down right in front of me into a pack of bugs just before I went through them.  I can't say I've had a running partner do that for me before!  It must be the fluff of it's fur as it looked like a rolly polly furry thing with thin and delicate wings that didn't seem like they should have been able to support it.  This was such an amazing run!

It was a hard and slow long run.  Six AM, 77 degrees, 95% humidity....then it got worse.  Glad this one was over.
