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.

I've got to start acclimating to this cooler weather but I've been avoiding it.

I did 5 miles on a tread mill tonight. I decided to keep an easy 10:45 pace and it felt good.

I've been avoiding running in the cold weather like the plauge. I choose to run on the tread mill last time becuase the room is a toasty 72 degrees. Tonight I decided to suck it up and be a real woman. (You know, like you tough ladies in CO and UT)

It was 46 degrees when I stepped out. I wasn't sure what to wear as it's been 10 months since I've last run in cold temps. So I had my UA tights and mock neck on, along with a pair of sweat pants, jacket, and gloves. So if you are thinking wow that's too much then you are correct. A half a mile into the run and I was roasting. I was drenched by the end of the run. Lesson learned - don't over react and put on blizzard clothes to do a run in above freezing temps.

This weekend is my last long run before my 50 miler. I've gotten all types of suggestions of what I should run. These suggestions range from run back to back 20 milers to only doing a 10 mile long run. Originally on my schedule I believe I had a 15 miler and then a 10 miler the next day. I don't think I actually want to do 2 long runs this weekend so I think I might just do one very long run. I'll post on Sat or Sun what I ran when I finally decide.

Today I did 13 miles at the crack of dawn with some friends. It was 34 degrees and boy is that COLD to me. I had 15 on the todo list but got tired of being numb (underdressed today). I 've got 10 on the books tomorrow so I'll do 12 instead. At least my weekend total mileage will be 25 as I had once planned.

Thank goodness for daylight savings change...I've got some built in room for the extra mileage before church tomorrow.

I hope you folks had good runs this weekend as well.
