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.

So, I had to press the running re-set button. I overdid it. I was really sick and run down last week. Actually, the last month has been a continuous cycle of recurring illness and constant stress. I couldn't sleep, and dropped weight because of loss of appetite. I can't run well in this condition, so I pulled the plug on the Phoenix Marathon and took about ten days completely off.

I'm trying to find a healthier balance in my life.

It felt good to get back out there today.

Really dark run through the park this morning, followed by Zumba. Flailing my arm around in class made my elbow sore.

Huge snow dump last night.  So, tempo workout  on the treadmill because  I  am wimpy like that. 20 minute warm up. 3 mile, 2 mile, 1 mile intervals with half mile recovery. Short cool down to give me 50 for the week.

3 mile: 18:36 (6:12 average)

2 mile: 11:55 (5:57 average)

1 mile: 5:41
