Married for 11 yrs to very supportive non-running wife. Two children : Fiona, 6 (in picture) and Elliott (2 yrs)

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.

lunch run at work. Ran a couple miles a little faster. 7:21,7:17. Foot feeling better. Its amazing how two weeks with 5 mi/week mileage did nothing for my foot but running 50 or so miles last week, stretching alot, icing some, taking a 24 hr anti-inflammatory , and wearing the night split can make a big difference. Rest doesn't cure all injuries.

Commute to work and back. Felt much stronger in the afternoon as I normally do. When I wasn't stopped by traffic, I was able to maintain around 7:20 or so pretty comfortably. Felt good. My car was in the shop so I ran from work to Honda of Decatur. Leon burst out laughing when I told him that I had run 9 miles to come pick up my car.

Since treadmills are evil, I ran in a downpour on the trails at work. Took it pretty easy.

Ran two laps on the road at work. Beautiful day. Picked it up towards the end and did a 6:32 tempo for my 5th mile. Foot is not 100% but its pretty close. I forgot to wear my night splint last night and it didn't hurt in the morning. Got my Chaco hiking shoes today which I plan to wear to work. I love them so far. I am hooked on Chaco sandals and these feel just as good.

Fun day of running. Ran the McKay hollow half-marathon with Sooi today. Course was great. Enjoyed several trails at monte sano I'd never been on before- Panther knob, natural well, and a few others. Loved the mud, puddles, multiple stream crossings. Blake had great post race food- can't beat Crispy cremes, cookie cake, and oreos! This was Sooi's hardest race yet and she kept at it. I was proud of her.
