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.
Tested out the glute muscle with a light fartlek workout. Ran with Becca. 2 mile warm up. 5-4-3-2-1 minute intervals with 3-2-2-1 minute recovery. 2 mile cooldown.
Still feeling the strain, but the workout was doable.
That felt really long. It's amazing how fast your fitness seems to drop off after cutting back for awhile. Biting wind this morning. Out 1300W to 9000 S. Back on 2200 W. Beautiful morning! Finished with a marathon paced mile (6:12) 7:03 average.
