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 did a quick 2 miles just to see how the legs would feel. They started out like feeling like cement (but they almost always do) the run felt great.

Once again I overdressed and roasted myself. At least I got it right once on race day thanks to Carolyn in CO's suggestions.

Awful run. No energy, no motivation so I just turned around and came home.

Did my run on a tread mill at the gym. My pace was slow but I tried to pick it up some. I had wanted to do 5 miles today but called it quits. I'm really surprised that recovery from my last race is so slow. Perhaps I'm just a bit impatient but I'm ready to start training for a marathon in Jan. I was feeling discouraged until I got an email last night from a friend who also ran the JFK 50. She's also slower than normal and her distances are very low as well since the race.

It's too bad we can't all be superman or superwoman and bounce back after a couple of days.

Tomorrow I'm going to take the kids to run their first race. They've volunteered at water stops before at local 5K/10K but Saturday will be their first 1 mile fun run. They are so excited.

Reindeer Fun Run

The kids had a blast at the fun run today. They took off like a bat out of hades and found themselves winded at .1 miles. They took a walk break and took off again. Somewhere around .5 mile my 6 y/o stated that this was HARD! She then sat down. Being so sympathetic I reminded her that we were still in a race and to get up and walk. (Feel the love?) We rounded the coner and the last .15 miles were all down hill. They were off again seeing the finish line. I actually had to sprint to keep up with them. Who knew those little legs could go so fast? Finish time 12:31. I'm so proud! Best non-long run day ever!

We enjoyed the post race buffet of cookies as you can see below.
