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.

Felt good for being day 2 after marathon. My quads feel great. I think the best they've felt after a hard marathon - must be something to the CWX shorts.

Managed 8:14 on the final mile.

Went home in the morning for Elliott's intake into hospice. Numbing. Their services will be a good thing for Elliott and Liza. Elliott now has a dedicated nurse who will visit him at home a couple times a week. He is slowly slipping away mentally but he is comfortable and content. Hospice will help us keep him comfortable. We don't know how long the process will take - 6 months, 1 yr, 2yrs, ???

After all of this, I needed a run so while Liza napped with Elliott , I went around the neighborhood (my refuge and Elliott St. Loop). Felt weak but felt better afterwards

Rainy and chilly

I almost did two bad things.

1) break my streak of not running on the treadmill ( 42 weeks)

2) break in my brand new trail shoes on the treadmill

Luckily, once I got my running clothes on , the rain lightened a bit and stuck to the roads and trails around work.

I always seem to botch nutrition on a mid afternoon run. I never want to eat lunch and today I thought the big breakfast at 8:30am would hold me. Nope... I will eventually learn my lesson.

Run was good otherwise. Got a chance to try out my new CWX tights.

Chilly and windy day. Reminded me of last Saturday.

Trying to fight off a cold. Have a cough and chest congestion.

My brother attempted a 70 mile bike race through the snow in Phillips, WI today. It was on snowmobile trails- rough going. He completed 15 miles in 5 hours and then dropped out. It was a bike/run/ski option race. All competing with one another. Very soft snow. Some bikes had 6" wide tires and made better progress.

Hope conditions in Duluth on Jan 2 are better.
