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 fighting a head cold all week, and haven't been feeling too great while running. I don't know whether to push through, or back off. Just one of those little annoyances.
Ran 10 x 2 minutes on/off with Tee. I felt better as we ran, but definitely not my best workout.
Feeling better. I still need to catch up on rest. I don't know what I was thinking, wanting to run a winter marathon. This is my worst buildup ever! It has been tough. Oh well. I will do the best I can these last 10 weeks and run it for fun and good fitness heading into the spring. 6:54 average.
