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.

Had a nice family walk in the refuge and got some yard work done.  Trying to keep pace with all the leaves dropping.

Got in an easy run as the sun was going down.

Easy run on the trails and roads at work.   Did one mile at marathon pace  and pushed a couple hills.  Mostly goofing around.  didn't feel like running too hard today.   Got in  5 X 20 Pushups.  Was easier than last week.

Ran to and from work via 14th street bridge and 8th St.  Ended up being longer but it was a nice change.  

 ran by Littrell lumber on the way there.  Freshly cut wood smells soo good. 

Got rained on the way there.  Caught shift change at Wayne Farms so there was a fair bit of traffic to go along with the rain and minimal shoulder.  I enjoyed it though.

Went by the Moulton Heights Rd Pig farm on the way home.  Piggies were very happy.   This is right by Littrell Lumber off of Old Moulton Rd.  The traffic got bag near 5th Ave, 14th St, Central parkway so I'll probably avoid this way back in the afternoons.   Not a good combination to be tired and have to cross several busy streets with the sun going down.
