Marathon - 3:28:16 (7:56 pace) - Vegas Marathon - 12/05/10

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!!

Pick your own time 5k in Ashland

Warm up with John - 2.47 @ 9:08 pace

selected 21:00 as my 5k goal time.  which is roughly my tempo pace (6:46)

Missed a turn in the first mile and ended up adding on at least .3 miles.  Upped the pace after getting back on course.  Probably ran 6:30's to catch up and finished in 22:46.  Totally pissed at myself for missing that turn.  Could have nailed the goal time.  Win some and lose some.  oh well.  Was still a great cause.

Colonial 1/2 Marathon

1:39:46 (7:36 pace)

Executed the race perfectly.  Wasn't really paying attention to time.. ran first 5k a wee too fast.. readjusted and ran good even splits the entire rest of the way.  Felt great on a tough course.  Happy with results this early in season.  Lets face it.. my training is always marginal at best in the winter months.  A good start to the spring.
