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.

My legs were pretty thrashed today. I think I ran hard last week! I only managed a short run today. 7.3

I was super tight in my hips yesterday, so I decided to play it cautious and wait one more day for a workout. Definitely felt better this morning. Gotta be careful not to taper too quickly. 8.75 miles. 6:54 average. Afternoon run today.

PM: Lunchtime Miles with Myles. Out and back on the river trail. 6.25 miles. 7:43 average. BOB PR!

Ugh. Mile repeats are my very least favorite workout. But, I got six in, on marathon legs. I think it was a good one.

3.5 mile warmup. I could tell I was flat. 15 yesterday made a difference. Goal pace: 5:50- 5:55. 400 recovery. Goal was to make it through all six.

5:50, 5:49, 5:48, 5:48, 5:46, 5:44. I told myself I HAD to break 5:45 on the last one.

I made it by the skin of my teeth.

I have no speed. I can just run one pace for a long time. I must be ready for a marathon.

1.5 cooldown.

For comparison: Before St George I ran 5:50, 5:53, 5:51, 5:53, 5:53. I hope this means good things!

Nice fall morning run. Teren decided to sleep in so I didn't have to rush. Or run in the dark. 10.6 miles. 7:13 average. I may or may not run a second run.

Mid morning run. A little toasty. My legs are still tired, which means I am tapering correctly. Hard long run tomorrow. 7:01 average.

Ten minute warm up into progressive tempo. 100 minute tempo. 15.7 miles. With warm up 6:29 average. A little nervous I went too hard today, but 15 days to recover is plenty.

Bib number: 292
