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.
I have been dealing with a pretty persistent Achilles strain. I am hoping that I am to the point where I can start working back. 4.2 miles felt pretty good today.
Beautiful Thanksgiving morning. Much brisker pace than the last two runs. Of course, I ran about four hours later than I usually do. Felt so good to be out running in the sunshine. Hopefully I didn't push the Achilles too much. 40 minutes of running.
