Olympic Trials Qualifier

2 x Deseret News 10k winner

3 x All-American at BYU (back in the day)

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 was able to run a little later in the morning. It was nice sleeping in until six and running when it's light. I ran a couple miles in the neighborhood and then ran out to Valley Park and around through the neighborhood, then home. Perfect morning. 7:16 average.

Another gorgeous morning run. My hips are sore and tight. More stretching and rolling needed. 7:10 average.

The headwind on the home stretch was killing me today. I also didn't enjoy running around high schoolers. Overall, kind of a blah day mentally.

Quick jog home. I don't have as much time now that Teren runs in the morning too.
