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.

I ended up not running yesterday.  My body didn't respond to fasting very well.  But, I still hit my weekly mileage.   12 miles with some tempo at the end.  Six easy-ish, then 6:47, 6:40, 6:35, 6:18, 6:23, 6:13.  12 in 6:48 average.  When I finished, I saw that I was .1 miles away from 50 for the week, and that just won't do.  I ran a lap around the neighborhood with Cole before he headed out on a six miler.  12.45 miles total.
