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.

As I started to walk out the door, Cali woke up wanting to eat.  No run.  I did a Fitness Blender HIIT cardio and core workout in my living room.  It was pretty tough considering my flabby abs.   I'm hoping I will see strength improvements over time.

I felt good and strong running today.  I like seeing my form and fitness come back.  I ran a loop through the neighborhood, down to the River Trail, up at Bullion, and then back through the neighborhood.  7:24 average.  I could feel yesterday's workout.  The soreness really kicked in the second half of the run.

6 miles.  Still a bit sore in my hips, quads, and abs.  I had to work hard to finish in time to get kids to school.  7:26 average.

Kind of flat today.  Still having trouble getting a routine down.  Cali's still a bit unpredictable with feedings.  7:35 average.  My longest run, yet!   I ran over to the gym and got on the scale.  Down 4 pounds since last weigh in.  134 lbs.  14 to go.
