I would like to run an Olympic Trials Qualifier in the marathon.

 Stay healthy!  (My biggest challenge!)

Run my whole life, and then live vicariously through my children. (just kidding) , but I do want to pass on a healthy lifestyle to them.

Help coach East High to a state championship. (hope it doesn't take a lifetime!)

Personal:

I've been running since I was nine.  I'm married to a fellow runner who inspires and supports me.  We have two children:  Cole (4) and Lily (18 mos.)  I help Bill Cobler coach cross country at East High School.

45 minute run with 1 minute pushes, 6.32 miles.   After running I lifted.  Why do I always feel as if I'm encroaching on the "He-men's" sacred turf when I hit the weight room?  I think there needs to be more 35-year-old running women and fewer 20-something frat boys with overdeveloped biceps lifting weights.   I especially liked the "dude"  who was lifting in his baggy jeans, t-shirt, and backwards cap.  He did a few bicep curls and a little bench press and called it good.  I would worry about the smell of his clothes that he clearly meant to wear the rest of the day, but I don't think he really worked up much of a sweat.

On another note, the woman sleeping in the locker room was actually homeless and looking for a warm place to crash.  I empathize, but members are supposed to check in with our fingerprints at the front desk?  So, who's letting other people in? (I guess she's not the first  homeless person to use the club's facilities.)   Gotta love the health club.  I'm never bored.

Nice job getting out there and getting it done. It's so hard with a newborn. And those last 7-10lbs are so stubborn. Way to go! Caisa is such a great girl. I had no idea she lived around here.
