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.

A.M.  4 mile easy run this morning.  I felt pretty decent after last night's tempo run.  SLCC loop.  28:26.

 

P.M. 8.5 mile run.  4800S to JRT, turnaround at Millrace Park.  I didn't even bother timing.  Yesterday finally caught up to me.  How am I ever going to get to 80 miles a week? (not this week. Eventually)

I'd say the right answer to that is slowly, paying careful attention to your body. You already know this, of course, but sometimes it helps to have someone tell you something you already know :) Do you typically do cutback weeks as you increase your mileage? I think that's a good idea. I typically time my cut back weeks with race weeks to give my legs a little bit of a break. Also, do you have access to a pool for some pool running? Doing some pool running 1-2 times a week may help take some of the pounding off you as you increase your mileage. I really enjoy my one day with a pool workout.
