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.

My achilles were sore from the track yesterday.  Achilles soreness is okay.  Achilles strains are not okay.  I tried to warm them up properly before running, which is tough to do.  They take so long to get warm.  I will have to be careful as I incorporate speed work into my training again.

On the plus side, I feel much better than last week . . . a lot less clunky and out of shape.  Next week is going to be a challenge for training.  Teren will be traveling for work.  Time to hire all the teenage girls in my neighborhood for babysitting!

Glad you are feeling good Emily. Bring your kids down my way next week and I'll watch them. :)

I'll watch them...but that means we can't run together. But if you want to run around my house, drop them off! :) We need to get together anyways!
