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.
I planned on a longer and harder effort today, but I only slept a few hours last night. Darn insomnia. I just ran with the kids. Better than nothing. It might put me a couple of miles short of my mileage goal this week.
90 minute run. I was supposed to meet Tee and Devra. I went to Murray Park instead of Liberty Park where we were supposed to meet. So, I drove home and ran solo. It always seems to take so much longer alone! Harder effort long run. 6:48 average.
