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!)

Long-Term Running Goals:

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.

I had the goal of getting up at 4 to get a run in before Boot Camp class at 5:30.  But, since I didn't get to sleep until 11 and Lily woke up 3 times,  I was pretty happy with myself for getting up at 5 and driving through the slush to the health club to run a treadmill hill run.   I told myself " Just get at least 6 in."  But, once I got in the groove I woke up and was able to complete 8.  

I started at 8.5 mph and jumped up the pace every 5 minutes.  I ran a 2 minute hill on a 3 percent incline every 10 minutes.  I completed 5 2 minute hills during the run.  My total time for 8 miles was 53:27.  But . . . no Boot Camp.  Maybe Thursday!

At least you are getting your money's worth at the gym. :)
