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

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.

It's raining!  It's pouring!  The treadmill is so boring!   Yes, I resorted to the treadmill this morning to avoid the damp weather.   Summer, PLEASE come soon!!! 

I ran ten miles, starting at 8.0 mph and getting progressively faster every half mile.   The total time sas 67:35.  I felt good and in control.   My sneaky little daughter stole my heel insterts out of my running shoes and hid them somewhere.  I may have sore calves tomorrow.  That will teach me to leave my running shoes in the family room, in reach of a sixteen-month-old!

I continued my no chocolate commmitment yesterday, but I'm not sure it mattered.  Mother's Day was celebrated with too much food!   I appreciated the fruit, yogurt, and granola parfaits that my husband made me, but probably could have done without the accompanying cinnamon rolls.   We barbecued steak and chicken for dinner, and followed that up with fruit pizza.   Overall, a calorie filled Mother's Day!  I enjoyed the time with my husband and babies!  Now, time to get serious again!
