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.
Sooo sore this morning. But, after a few easy miles, my tired legs started to perk up, and I started to really enjoy the run. I may have actually burst into song and startled some geese. 7:44 average.
9:00 Zumba. I felt the need to burn off some more crazy.
Really windy today. I turned a track day into a fartlek day. 15 minute warm up followed by 5 x 5 minutes hard/3 minutes easy. Paces varied between 5:40 and 6:00. Now to get ready for tomorrow's long run in the rain.
Pouring this morning. I waited until a little later in the morning to run. I bundled up for the cold and rain. I got poured on for six miles and then the sun came out. Then, I roasted for the rest of the run. I ran 13 instead of 15, but that was better than the eight minimum I told myself to finish. I hit 55 miles so yay.
