Personal:

Born 1972 in north central Wisconsin

Married for 11 yrs to very supportive non-running wife. Two children : Fiona, 6 (in picture) and Elliott (2 yrs)

Co-Race Director of  Delano Park 12 Hour Run (www.delano12.com). President of River City Runners (www.rivercityrunners.org)

3 cats and 1 dog (chocolate lab)

In high school, I was an slightly overweight , badly asthmatic J.V. cross country runner.  I enjoyed being part of the team but never excelled.   The summer after my freshman year in college I decided to run a marathon.  6 weeks later I ran a 3:11 at Grandma's Marathon in Duluth (1991) and I was hooked on long distance running where my asthma wasn't as much of a factor.

Paced Kelly Elmore in her First Marathon!  She did awesomely- 4:41.   She raised money for National Tay Sachs  (NTSAD) .  We all wore  "Running for Elliott" shirts with Elliott's picture on the back.  Great morning.

4th time running this nice 50k.   I got in a nice comfortable pace and was able to keep moving.  Was in third place by the 1st aid station and got into 2nd by the 2nd aid station.   Eric Patterson kept within a minute or so of me until the 3rd aid station (17 miles) but I was able to pull away a bit.    As in previous years, this race gives you lots of alone time in the woods.
