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!)

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.

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.

Ran with Tee to help her out with her long workout. Not a great morning. I didn't sleep much last night and I was sore from strength class. It was snowing. We ran two milesto the trail, which seemed to have a light icy layer. I slipped and fell. My face bounced off of the cement. I re-injured my recently healed elbow. I was ready to give up. But, Tee still had to get in 4 x 2 miles with 2 minute recovery.

We started the workout. .3 miles in, Tee wiped out. Now I was REALLY ready to quit. We moved to the road, and managed to get it in on a rolly (but dry) route. Tee wanted 6:30 pace or faster.

First interval: 12:58 (6:28)

2nd interval: 12:48 (6:24)

3rd interval: 12:41. (6:20)

I decided I was done after this. My head wasn't in it, even though we hit Tee's pace just fine. Tee did one more mile. We ran a 2 mile cooldown to finish.

We're both hurting from our falls now.

Medium long run. 6:54 average. Finally feeling less beat up today. Stupid ice.
