50K - 7:10 (actual moving pace unknown) - Run Under The Stars 10 Hour Endurance Run.  6/12/10.  Ran on the same day as the Hatfield McCoy Marathon.

Short-Term Running Goals:

to continue to improve.  Would love to get the elusive BQ.  Ive been a consistent runner since 2006 but I truly didn't take training seriously until the fall of 2010.  Before that.. I pretty much relied on my athletic ability to just get me to the finish line of events.  Still truly haven't figured out the marathon distance.  Currently just spending time awaiting for my marathon training to begin in June.  Aiming for a strong fall Marathon PR.  We will see.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Have to finish NYC, Boston, Pikes Peak & Chicago.  After that would love a shot at Commrades and possibly a 100 miler.  Who wouldn't want a belt buckle.

Personal:

Married with two kids (9 & 5)

Marathon Maniac #2635  woo hoo!!

11 recovery with John (9:34, 8:54, 8:53, 8:52, 8;59, 8:56, 9:02, 9:09, 9:11, 8:53, 8:33)

Legs felt pretty heavy on the opening few miles but that means I worked them well on Saturday.  John and I ran over and did a loop around Deep Run high school and got to see a lot of the bikers and runners during various stages of the sprint tri that was going on at the YMCA.

Once I go to get out of the car at home.. I notice that my left butt check isnt feeling right.  In fact it hurt to get up out of the car and into the house.  Like where in the world did that come from??  Could it be that im getting old???  or could it be that im straddling the excellence is built on the edge of destruction line???  or could it be a combination of both??

So I got home and rolled it out with the foam roller took a couple of Aleve and will play it by ear.  Unless im seeing some major improvement over the next 24 hours then Mondays recovery run will not happen.  Running smart and getting to the starting line is my motto for the year.

Total for the week ending Sunday = 58.57

My friend Peter just texted me with his Erie Marathon time of 2:59:36.  Awesome performance!!!  Congrats my friend!!
