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!!

Tour de hills half marathon @ recovery (Turtle Creek, Falconbridge, Popular Forest, Shady Branch) all up hill.

13.1 in 1:54:29 (9:27, 8:58, 8:53, 9:10, 9:13, 9:10, 8:45, 8:41, 8:40, 8:24, 8:08, 7:52, 8:10)

One would think that after a 20 miler pretty much at race pace that I would have some soreness, some heavy legs, something??  Unlike like last week recoveries with John.. the legs felt totally fine and actually somewhat fresh today.  Maybe John truly did kick my butt last week :-)  Ive long ago quit trying to figure out this crazy sport.  I guess if could actually solve what separates good runs from bad runs then I could write a book and be a rich author like Bart and Dean.

I have the Colonial 200 on Friday and I plan on going into Friday's leg #2 being totally fresh.  Going to run Monday recovery and Tuesday prob 10 - 12 then 2 days complete rest going into Friday morning.

Miles for the week ending Sunday = 50.32  good mileage considering my Monday and Tuesday combined total was 1 mile.

Onwards

I promise not to kick your butt again at the relay.
