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.
Up late with sick kids. Doctors appointments today. I opted for extra rest. Trying to avoid croup and laryngitis. I figure with a Sunday race, I have a free day during the week.
Last workout. 2 mile warm up. 2 x 3 min, 2 min, 1 min fartlek with 2-1-1- minute recovery. Finished with a "marathon paced" mile at 5:51 Cooled down home. 6:42 average for workout. Legs feel great. Just need to catch up on rest.
