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!!

Final training run before NYC is in the books.

3 (8:09, 7:42, 7:14)

Well thats a rap and I after my double race entry.. I probably wont update this blog until the spring time.

By far this was the most dedicated training season ever.  I missed zero runs dues to laziness, weather and or life obligations.  Im pretty proud of that as I look back.  There were some nights where I didnt start running until 11 at night.  There were some days missed due to aches and pains (calf and achilles) mainly and few just to general soreness when I felt my body needed a break.  I was very focused on the long runs.. most of the time I ended up doing them by myself because my teammates were running too fast.  As the season ended.. I noticed my time dropping greatly and I was finding myself further up in the pack with little effort.

I vividly remember my coach pulling me aside on day 1 back in June and saying "todd.. I dont care what it takes.. were getting you to the start line healthy".

Well I trained smart and very disciplined and have made that happen.  To be honest whatever happens in NYC happens.  Im still not sweating it.  Im just going to go enjoy myself.

All Black Sunday 8 (8:20, 7:42, 7:28, 7:09, 7:20, 7:33, 7:31, 6:57)

Some good size hills through Hollywood Cemetery.  Not sure why but felt crazy strong on todays run.. could have been I was supposed to run a marathon today and needed to release some frustration??  yup!!  I needed a few up tempo miles today because of the extended taper session that the NYC cancelation is causing me.
