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 did not get so lucky with the weather this morning.  It was pouring, and I had a speed workout to go do.  So, off to the health club I went, not feeling particularly motivated.  I warmed up two miles, and then ran 10 x 3minutes on/2minutes off.  I started the speed part at 10.5 mph, and increased .1 every 2 intervals.   I finished at 11.0 mph, and ran the two minutes easy at 8.0 mph.   I felt strong and in control until the last two.  Those were some serious work.  I ran a 12 minute cooldown, to bring my total mileage for the day to 11.5 miles.  Total time for the run was 1:14.  I'm going to be feeling this one for a couple of days, and hopefully I didn't pound too hard.  It was a good workout, even though it would have been more enjoyable to run it outside.  Easy and short tomorrow before Saturday's long run.
