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'm going crazy!!!! 5 miles this morning. I keep feeling like I need to run more. But, I will get a long enough run on Saturday. 6:49 pace. I have way too much nervous energy! It's nice to feel good running, though!

At this point, the less you run and slower you run the better! Gotta give that body time to rest up and feel super fresh on Sat! I'm rooting for you!
I was sad you weren't at the usatf meeting last night bc I wanted to talk to you before the race! You are going to do awesome though...conservative first half then go for the win!

I think the only thing worth mentioning is that Kris wanted to know if you were going to Indy for the annual conference in December.

andrea has great advice. conservative start, fast finish.
from michelleL's race report, 2008:
"So here's where I think I went wrong: I met or exceeded my splits for the first 8 miles despite the weather and the potty break. I should have started out 10 seconds per mile slower at the start, and not pushed Veyo so much. I went out too fast 1-8..."
good luck. i'll be cheering for you on saturday.
