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.

Ran over to Delano and did a few laps.  With some puddle dodging, I kept my feet dry.  I didn't do the muddy out and back from yesterday's race.

Elliott is getting some miles in on the stroller.  Another nice run.  A little cooler today.  My foot is not 100%.  It feels alot better than last week when I didn't run on it though.  Plantar Fasciatis does not get better with rest- I think it gets worse.

Went over to Mooresville to walk the start and take a few pictures of the Rocket Run 10 miler.   Went out to the refuge and got to help a couple find the cotter pin for their boat trailer.  They ran over a huge stump which lifted the boat off of the trailer hitch.  I found the pin a 1/4 mile down the road around the corner.  They must have dragged the trailer and stump that whole way.   My foot continues to get better.  It still is pretty tight at the start but it loosens up afterwhile.   I'm still watching the speed- no faster than 8 min/mile.
