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.

P90X - chest and back w/ ab ripper

Now that I'm done I feel like a limp noodle.  The good news is that it will only get better.

5AM, 80 degrees, 95+% humidity.  Holy cow, this was a hard run.  The temp wasn't bad but I just struggled under the weight of all that humidity.

8:30PM, 91 degrees, 85% humidity.  I just had the best run in at least 6 weeks.  The temps were hot but it didn't seem as awful as it was yesterday.  This is one of those run where I felt I could have kept going for another hour or two.  I hope to have more runs like this in my future.

Skipped my scheduled p90X workout. I would say I was too pooped after work which would only be half true.  I was also half intimidated.  That first one kicked my booty.

I went out for a quick run after I finally got the kids to bed this evening around 8:45.  The run was more difficult than I would have thought.  The temps were the standard lower 90's but the humidity seemed higher than normal.

I would like to get 25 miles in this week so I need to get busy running both tomorrow and Sat.

Our running group meets at 6AM every Saturday.  I managed an 11.3 mile run.  It was a bit slow as we had some new folks and wanted to have them feel comfortable and not alone.  The side benefit was the fact we didn't overheat from the 80 degree temps and awful humidity.

goal of 25 miles this week is reached.
