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.

Today is going to be a crazy day.  I have to get kids ready for school, take them to school, get a present for a birthday party, pick up Lily from school, get Lily and Myles lunch, go volunteer at Cole's field day, pick up Cole, take Lily, Cole, and Myles for a haircut, take Lily to a birthday party.  Plus, I'm going to try to sneak a strength class in there somewhere.  So, it was nice having 45 quiet minutes to myself to run today.  I used to run to be fast.  Now I just run for sanity.  

I ran my Costco loop today.  The pace was brisk, 7:05 average.  I felt a little off, though.  I gave blood on Saturday for my friend's blood drive, and then fasted for fast Sunday.  I was a little nauseated the entire run.  I'll have to take some iron over the next few weeks.  

Managed to fit the total body conditioning class in this morning.  Kim changed the class up.  Oh, those endurance drills are hard.  Especially the frog jump/toe tap combo.  Ouch.

You are getting right back into it! Nice pace this morning and great job squeezing a class in too. What do you do with Myles and Lily when you go to your classes? Daycare?
