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.

As a break from mowing the lawn, I ran to Point Mallard.  Wanted to get the start line set for this weekends 1/2 mile fun run at the 3M River City Run (www.rivercityrun.com) and also get a 1 mile split point for the 3.5 mile run.  These two races are new this year and are a complement to the 10K which is now in its 28th year.

3M River City Run  went well.  Had about 250 runners.  Good turnout for the 3.5 mile run (new this year).  We may certify as a 5K or 6K next year. 

Long day.  Started at 4am and at park by 5am to mark the course.  Got the final results to the paper around 3:30pm.

Watched Dexter with Liza last night.  I had watched Season 1 on DVD and I wanted to see if she liked it so we watched episode 1.  She had weird dreams all night so I think she liked it.  It is an awesome show.
