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!)

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.

I warmed up twenty minutes and then ran a fartlek workout. 3 x 1,2,3,2,1 minutes with 1,1,2,11 minute recovery. I felt pretty good for 6 am. 6:53 average. I'm trying tp ramp up the training a bit. I'm having a tough time getting focused and serious, but I will get there eventually.

Later AM:  I took a zumba class.  My usual zumba instructor was gone.  So, I ended up taking zumba from a one-armed zumba instructor.  She was terrible.  Not because she had one arm, but because she couldn't stay on beat and her coreography was boring.  I get frustrated with poor instructors. Yes, I'm being mean and snobby.  I should have taken cycle class instead.

Treadmill day. I ran for sixteen songs. I was going to run fifteen, but I wasn't quite at an hour, so I ran for one more song. I made 9.17 miles in 63 minutes. I also threw in six two minute hills at three percent incline, one every ten minutes. I have lots of tricks for avoiding boredom on the treadmill.

I met Caisa and her friend Carrie in Daybreak this morning. I'm enjoying my Thursday Daybreak runs. We were moving pretty quickly today. 7:14 average. I'm ready for a long workout tomorrow.
