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 slept in a bit and then ran a nice easy nine this morning.  Emily Bates called me yesterday and asked if I would like to join her on a tempo run tomorrow.  I think I'm in for a tough time.  Her tempo is 2 x 5 miles at 6:10-6:15 pace.  I guess we'll see what kind of shape I'm really in.  It will be fun to run with Emily, but I must admit to being a bit intimidated!

Don't be afraid to modify the workout a little...could always do 2x4 or 2x3 and still get a huge benefit. That workout is hard even in 3-weeks out, tip-top marathon shape!
