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.
20 minute warm up. 2 x 1-2-3-2-1 minutes with 1-1-2-1-1 minute recoveries. Starting to hit sub-6:00 pace for shorter intervals on a more consistent basis. Maybe I will get relatively fit again.
Really early run to knock out the rest of my mileage for the week. It might sound stupid, but hitting a 50 mile week feels like an accomplishment. It's been a long time since I have run that much
