 Stay healthy!  (My biggest challenge!)

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'm going crazy!!!!  5 miles this morning.  I keep feeling like I need to run more.  But, I will get a long enough run on Saturday.  6:49 pace.  I have way too much nervous energy!  It's nice to feel good running, though!

At this point, the less you run and slower you run the better! Gotta give that body time to rest up and feel super fresh on Sat! I'm rooting for you!

I was sad you weren't at the usatf meeting last night bc I wanted to talk to you before the race! You are going to do awesome though...conservative first half then go for the win!

Aaahh. I completely forgot about the USATF meeting!

I think the only thing worth mentioning is that Kris wanted to know if you were going to Indy for the annual conference in December.

andrea has great advice. conservative start, fast finish.

from michelleL's race report, 2008:

"So here's where I think I went wrong: I met or exceeded my splits for the first 8 miles despite the weather and the potty break. I should have started out 10 seconds per mile slower at the start, and not pushed Veyo so much. I went out too fast 1-8..."

good luck. i'll be cheering for you on saturday.
