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.

Recovery starts today.  It is very much needed!  I ran very easy today.  It didn't seem to matter, my legs were dead for the first 4 miles, but seemed to revive a touch after that.  I'm glad I have a short one tomorrow.  I am excited to race on Saturday.  It sounds like the race will be good and competitive.  It will be a good measuring stick of where my fitness is. 

I ran out to 4800S, down to the River trail, out to the 4 mile mark, and turned around and came back.  It was windy, and I didn't appreciate the headwind coming back.  I wish the weather would get consistently nice, soon.   Tired legs and crappy weather made for a cranky Emily this morning.  But, it's done.

When I got home, Teren, Lily, and I went to Cole's last day of pre-school program.  I can't believe the year is over all ready.  I also can't believe what a sap I am!  Parenthood turns you to mush when you see your babies achieving those milestone.  Cole is growing up faster than I am ready for.  At least he has one more year of pre-school before I have to face the first day of kindergarten.  Now, what am I going to do with a busy 4-year-old all summer?

Are you running the Smile Center Memorial 10k this weekend? If so, maybe we can chat afterwards and plan to run together every once in a while!

Yes, I am running that 10k. I'm excited to meet you. We will definitely hook up after the race and plan some runs.
