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.

Five miles on my own, and 3 ish with Cole biking/running. Took a while to get the blood flowing this morning.

3 mile warm up plus 2 x 200. Turnover workout today. Not very marathon specific.

4 x 400-300-200-100 with 1 minute in between and 400 between sets. Finish with an all-out 800. I wanted to see if I could break 2:40 on an 800.

77-79 on 400s. 57-58 on 300s. 36-37 on 200s and 16-17 on 100s.

2:37 for final 800. I was excited to break 2:40. Hope this helps me avoid sluggish legs and get ready for my upcoming 5ks. I know it's not marathon specific, but it's fun to do short speed occasionally.

Only .75 cooldown. I might try to fit a few miles in tonight.

I'm not completely recovered from being sick. I struggled the last four miles with dizziness and muscle cramps. I have a twinging right soleus. Probably from the speedwork. I might need to pull back training a bit to dig myself out of my hole.
