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 ran down 2200W to 3500 S.  I hopped on the river trail and ran out to the four mile mark past Gardener Village.  Then, I turned around and ran to Millrace Park, and then home.  Total time was 2:01:05.  I measured the 12 miles on the river trail because I knew where the marks were.  I ran 1:17:30.  I'm thinking that my total run may have been over 18 miles.  I felt really good today.  Cardiovascularly I'm getting stronger.  It's kind of weird that I can run 6:30-6:40 miles easily, but yesterday I was struggling at 6:05's   I wasn't pushing at all today.  It felt really comfortable.  Next week is my first 20 miler.  I've never run one before.

Are you running PF Chang or Houston? Or other?

I'm planning on running PF Chang. I'm hoping to run a decent half in Florida on Thanksgiving to hopefully get some assistance from the race. I already have a comped entry, but I guess I need to prove I have the ability to run under 2:42 to get more aid
