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.

Had the idea to do a workout last night, but the kids did not comply with my schedule.  Cole started running a fever, and Lily did not go to bed when she usually does.  Finally, I just gave up.  So, I'll be running some longer days the next few days to get mileage.

Today I decided to break my run in two.

A.M.  Six miles.  I'm still feeling Tuesday's run.  I definitely ran harder than I thought at the time.  My hip is a little tight, but warmed out.  I tried to keep the pace under control.  I ran 4800 S. Down to river trail at 700W.  Then I ran the river trail to Millrace park, and up through Taylorsville High, through the neighborhood and home.  I like to run the last part through my neighborhood hard to practice finishing hard in a race.  I figure it is about 1000 meters.  (Yes, I know I need to get a Garmin.)  I ran 3:36 for the neighborhood section with a total time of 40:36 for the entire run.  I plan on an easy short run tonight, and mile and a half repeats tomorrow at Liberty Park if anyone wants to join me. (Obviously I'm not running Des News.)

PM  Easy 4 miles SLCC loop.  I didn't time it.  I just tried to run nice and easy.
