Short-Term Running Goals:

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

I would also like to run on one more international team before I pack it in!

 Stay healthy!  (My biggest challenge!)

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 August!  Back to work on Monday.  Going to push hard through this week and hope all my hard work this summer doesn't fizzle out when I get busy and tired again

It was a beautiful cool morning today. Probably should have done my long run. I think it's supposed to be ten degrees warmer in the morning

Keeping it mellow this week was helpful.  One more performing week and then just teaching.
