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.

Very slow treadmill run after a warmup of elliptical and walking.  Most of the mile was at 6-6.5mph.  Did run a little at 7.5 mph (8:00/mile) but it hurt.

Easy lunch run.    Billboard said 101F when I ran past.  Hottest run of the year.  Went through my 20oz. bottle of water after 2miles.  Recovering well.

First mile felt decent but the heat, fast start, and lack of recent speed work caught up with me on the last mile and could only manage a 6:30 final mile.

 Great turnout for first year race.  Great cause.

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.
