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.

Cali has been a pain at night.  Not falling asleep until after nine and waking up at 2:30 and not going back to sleep. I probably would have skipped again, except Cole needed a running partner.  I felt surprisingly good considering I only had 4 hours of sleep.  4.3 at 7:31 average with Cole.  Another 4.1 by myself at 6:49 average.  It's going to be a really rough day for everyone.

Some days feel great.  Some days it's hard to get out the door.  I was counting down every tenth of a mile.  But, Igot it in and the sun came out, which was lovely.  Trying to keep the momentum going.

Missed yesterday.  That sucked.  But, got my longest run in quite a while in today.  Next week is Hell Week at the theatre, so we'll see how it all goes.  80 minute progression run.
