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!)

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.

6 treadmill miles progressive, bumping up every half mile and throwing in one minute pickups every five minutes.

Cycle class. I felt the quad burn. Lots of intervals today.

Oh, I am so sore today!   I ran nice and easy.  We did a lot of drills yesterday with lateral movement, so my glutes and hips are so fatigued.  That's good though.  They need to get stronger.  7:19 average.  Hat and gloves weather.

REALLLLY flat today.  Running feels pretty good, but when I pick up the pace it doesn't feel so good.  Legs are definitely not totally back from the marathon.  I ran a 20 minute warm up.  Then, I ran 10 x 2 minutes on/off.  I had some in the 5;40-50 range, but mostly around marathon pace.  It felt like 5k pace.  Finished with a 6;09 last mile.  7:00 average.  

Can't decide if I want to go to a lifting class or Zumba class.  Hmmmm . . . .

Later AM: ZUMBAAAAH

7.6 miles. The river trail was misty this morning. I loved the Halloween atmosphere! 7:15 average

After running I went to the gym to lift.

At home 25 minute TABATA workout for kicks and giggles. I should be appropriately sore for tomorrow's long run.

Nice long run with my running buddy, Jenny. We went a little later in the morning which made for a pleasant run in the daylight. And, of course I always run longer with Jenny than I originally plan on. It was great except my sore legs got pretty tired after about 12. 7:14 average.
