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.

Ran five miles in the morning in my neighborhood.  Hamstring is still sore- sciatica I think.  I need to get into my MT.   did a lot of stretching afterwards.

Ran the cross country course at lunch.  Its in good shape.  I'm excited about the meet on Thursday.  9 teams so far , maybe 160 kids.
