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.

Perfect weather this morning, and I felt great!  I took advantage of Teren's day off to run longer.  Midmorning mid-long.  I'm trying to frontload the week a bit so I don't fall too behind in mileage.  We are going to Yellowstone later this week, and I don't think running will be optimal.  

I ran out 1300 W to Garder Village and back on the river trail.  I planned on 10 but felt great so extended.  I didn't do anything specifically paced, but I basically ran a progressive tempo.  It looked like this.

7:50, 7:30, 7:15, 7:18, 6:59, 6:49. 6:58 (this is where I decided to see what I could do.)  6:49, 6:38, 6:26, 6:00, 6:30 (uphill), 6:04 and 1.1 cooldown.  I didn't catch the split.  I'm excited to drop low sixes at the end of longer efforts.  It wasn't an organized workout, but I feel like I got some good benefit from today.

PM: 4.5 easy. Long day. 7:24 average
