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.

The Olympics are messing with my sleeping! Even though I have a DVR, I am staying up way too late at night watching.  Then, I'm so psyched up that it is even more difficult to sleep.  Oh well.  The same Olympics that are keeping me up are motivating me to get my butt out of bed in the morning.

I ran 5.3 miles, down to the River Trail off of 4800 S, and up at Millrace Park.  My route got a bit extended since I have to go all the way around the high school now instead of through the lot.  I felt pretty good running this morning, and only needed one potty stop.

When I got home, I took a gu and hopped on my bike for a little longer of a workout.  The gu really helped keep my blood sugar in check.  Women's cycling time trials were on, which made me push harder on the bike.  Hmmm . . . I wonder if I could be a good cyclist!  I biked for half an hour.  (My butt was sore from yesterday.  I need to adjust to the saddle again.)

Just wait until track starts - that'll keep everyone up late, PLUS light a fire to get out the door at the same time.

Yes, there will be late nights when track starts. At least the marathons are in the morning, and the 10,000's are in the afternoon, so that should help.
