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.
Warmish windy morning. I met Becca for a nice easy 10 miler. I'm glad she showed up. While I was waiting for her to get to our meeting spot, I had just about convinced myself to run back home and go back to bed. 7:23 average.
Took advantage of an extra rest day to push my long run. 12 miles in 6:50 average with the last three in 6:22, 6:05: 5:52. Then, I picked up Cole for two cooldown miles . . .well, cooldown for me . . .tempo for him!
