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.

I knew I didn't want to race another marathon in December so pacing the 3:15 group was a fun day to spend a Saturday morning. I couldn't slack off much but this pace was slowed enough so I felt decent the entire way. I had quite a crowd following me nearly all the way. As we got past 18 miles , we dropped people gradually.

Note to self: Do not wear Lunar Racers on this length of race again. The top of my right foot was hurting the last 13 miles of this race and for over a week afterwards.

Lunar Racer Miles: 28.00
