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!!

 Well today was going to be LSD but time constraints put me into speed mode.. so if im running speed.. im running Black.  Nothing like jumping into the deep end.  LSD can wait until tomorrow.

All Black opening loop.  Garmin stopped shortly after starting run.  Not real sure how far I ran.. prob somewhere near 5 miles.  I had forgotten how tough the UR hills combined with the All Black can be.  Was great to catch up with team.. had been way too long.

7:38, 7:19, 7:26, 8:06

Next Saturday starts my journey with the Advanced 10k Training team.  Here is the email from the Advanced 10k Team to me :

 Todd,

Based on your past times.. I have placed you with the Sub 41 group which currently shows a target range of 37 to 40, with actual performance of 39 to 43, looking at your past results and know some of the runner in this group it should be a great fit.

 The program has 2 key components. 1- Saturday Run of 6 to 8 miles with a tempo portion starting at 2 miles going to 6 plus a structured track workout on Wed nights based off the McMillion Calculator.

You will have fun and get fast... see you Saturday. 

Also my entry into the November 4th, 2012 NYC Marathon has been officially accepted!!  Time to get my training on!!!

As Greta would say "GAME ON!!!!!"

Great pace on those hills - sounds like fun and Adv 10k Team seems like a good fit.

Keep it up.
