Running Accomplishments:

Once beat Cheryl at the Hobble Creek Half Marathon about three years ago, and kept up with Peggy for 100m four years ago. Completion of 52 marathons to date.

I enjoy the marathon distance. It demands consistency in training and provides a constant goal to work towards. Could not run without the support of my great family and friends.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Stay healthy would be the number one goal. To accomplish this long-term feat I need to cross-train and add strength training into the mix.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Someday I would like to qualify for Boston although at the moment it seems very tough!

Personal:

Love running, music, art, food, friends and family in no particular order it just depends on the day.

Total Distance

10.00

Man was it cold this morning, it was almost painful! Had a really nice run with the group which was nice because it has been a long time. Visited Kelli, Scott, Peggy and others. It is so nice to have a group to run with. Also went for a run at lunch which was surreal because of all the snow covered roads and branches. It was really quite a nice afternoon.

WOW! it's only 2 days post LVM and you're running 10 miles, TWO runs in brrrr cold snow covered roads? YOU'RE AH-MAY-ZING! What was your "recovery" pace?

Did you know as of right now, as I type this, you lead the mileage board? Way to go, Erico. You're amazing.

Smooth-none of us understands how Eric does it. A marathon could be on Monday and he'd be back running with us on Tuesday. The first time he showed up to our running group after running a marathon just a couple of days before, I was amazed. Now he does it all the time. When he's not back right after, then I being to wonder.

And he is not even SLOW after a marathon!

Crazy guy, running MORE miles! Hope you are felling great and that I did not talk your ears off! At least I only crashed into you once and I didn't knock you over---I am a CLUMSY runner! I think I own the road.

Maybe I am weird but find it very helpful to do an active recovery. I will run about a 10 - 12 minute pace for 1-2 miles after a marathon to help loosen up and do a session of stretching afterwards. It really seems to help the recovery process along.

I don't run at a high intensity which makes a difference. I can do the go-for-broke thing for a 5K or a 10K but doing that for a marathon like the BBK's do would probably kill me.

My motto is "start out slow and then ease up."

You are not weird---you are smart!

I like your motto. I want some of your weirdness (er smartness). You're awesome!
