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.
Bit of a sore spot in my left calf, so stayed off of the track today. Ran a fartlek workout. 15 minute warm up. 3 x 3-2-1 minutes with 2-1-1 minute recovery. Cool down home. 6:40 average.
Calf got super sore and tight after six miles. I would have stopped, but I was still 2.5 miles from home. I may be cross training for a couple of days. I guess I tried to increase mileage and intensity too quickly.
