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.

Run back and forth to work.  Listened to audio book reading of the "The Shack" both ways.  Its about a father dealing with the loss of a child.  There are pros and cons to the book but I gleamed alot of good thoughts that will help me down the road.

Liza was having a massage today so I drove the parking lot outside the office and got in a quick run before she arrived with the kids.   She had a migraine which improved after/during the massage.

back and forth to work.   hot and humid.    72F at 5am.   88F at 4pm.

 These runs are convincing me that the camelback is not a good option for the run across alabama.  Its hard for me to drink the amount of water I need from it.  I have no gauge as to how much I'm drinking.  Its much easier for me to use a handheld bottle and drink a 20oz bottle every 20-40 minutes depending on how hot it is.
