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.

Final week! Tapering away! I'm busy feeling alternately supremely confident and supremely doubtful. Such is the marathon. I resolve to be happy and proud of the training I have put in no matter what the outcome!

I ran a little turnover workout this morning. It's tough moving quickly at 5:30 am. But, that's the only time I have to work out today. It was plenty of effort, though.

I warmed up fifteen minutes and then ran 3 x 3-2-1 minutes with 2-1-1 minute recoveries. I cooled down about a mile to hit 7 for the day. 7:12 average. (But my first two miles were about eight minute average.)

Feeling antsy and ready to race.

The weather in Sacramento looks perfect on race day. Low of 45. High of 62. Wind 2mph. Overcast.

Amber and I joined a big group at the CIM shakeout run. Beautiful weather and fresh legs. I'm so ready to go.
