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.
Back to the grind after a nice holiday weekend. 10.4 through the neighborhood and park. I was a little tight through my hips. Time to stretch. 7:05 average.
Plan was 80 minute tempo. I think I ran too hard yesterday, because my legs felt pretty tired. I made 65 minutes and was pretty shot. Cooldown until I hit 13 miles.
