10 x state champion in high school (way back in the day!)
3 x USA team member
Short-Term Running Goals:
I would like to run an Olympic Trials Qualifier in the marathon.
I would also like to run on one more international team before I pack it in!
Stay healthy! (My biggest challenge!)
Long-Term Running Goals:
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.
Up with a congested baby through most of the night, so headed to the gym this morning. 10 minute warm up then tempo. 7 x 3minutes at 6:20, 3 minutes at 6:10, and 3 minutes at 6:00. Up from 5 sets last time I ran this workout. Cooled down to 12.
AM: Planned on a midweek midlong, but felt terrible this morning. I'm getting the kids' chest cold. I couldn't face 12 miles this morning. So, double run today. 8 miles at 7:37 average.
PM: Snuck out for four more. I owe Cole five bucks.
