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 point mallard and the trails.  Did a mile and a half at 7 minute pace, the rest nice and easy- enjoying the heat.

Hot today.  Lunch run was at 94F.   This 4.5 miler was about the limit for one water bottle at this temp.

Ran home from work.   Didn't feel particularly strong but I got home.

It had just rained hard so it wasn't particularly hot but really humid. 

 

This link has a picture of a truck I saw disabled about 2.5 miles from home at the corner of 2nd St. and Central Parkway.  I thought it was pretty funny so I snapped a picture.

Lunch run- felt cooler because it was cloudy.  Air temp still 90F.

 

Evening - did the 1 and 3 miles at the RCR family fun runs on the trails.  Felt decent.   5:45   and then 18:45.  Skipped the 2 mile and took Fiona to the water park.

Nice long run.  First 5 was hot (high 80's),  2nd 5 was a thunderstorm, and last 5 was awesome- temps down to the 70's.  

Started feeling good late in the run -

Mile 12 8:06

Mile 13 7:46

Mile 14 7:23

Mile 15 6:44

Most of the early miles were around 8:30-9:00.  Ran some through the Decatur Cemetery-  nice roads and hills there.
