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.

It would really help if it was just about 10 degrees warmer in the morning.  It's difficult to do any sort of speed when your body doesn't feel as if it warms up.  Or, it would be helpful if I could run later in the morning, but 5:30 is what worked with my schedule today.

I warmed up 15 minutes and then ran 6 x 3 minutes on/2 minutes off.  I hit the 4 mile turn-around point at 28:16, and finished in 55:30, so I definitely sped up over the run. 

I had another funny running dream last night.  I dreamed that I was at track camp on a beach somewhere and I was hanging out with my good buddies Shalane Flanagan and Kara Goucher.  We were playing skeeball together. 

Note to self:  Baked potatoes with chili the night before a morning run is hard on the stomach.  Ugh.
