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!!

Was going to do 10x on Sorrento plus extra mileage to total 9 miles but Kenny Rodgers once said "You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, Know when to walk away and know when to run."

No real aches or pains but for the first time this training season.. the legs just weren't there :-( Combine that with my inability to hit my latter interval splits on Tuesday night and I think im about ready for an up coming extra unscheduled day off.  Im going to play Saturday by ear and see if im able to hold MP for the middle 5 miles and then go from there.

6.35 miles total with 10x on Sorrento.  Pretty steady on the uphill sections.. not too fast and not too slow.  Ran some with my All Black teammate Eddie.  Him & I are about the same speed and are both headed to NYC.  Was good to see a familiar face among the MTT'ers on scene.

Tonight was the final night of HMT hills.  As normal the crowd had dwindled down.  Including myself there were only 4 runners tonight.  We start speed at Godwin next Thursday.  Im much more at home on the track.  Guess im not a mountain goat.
