Personal:

Married, with 1 daughter

IT Analyst/Programmer for 20 years. Also, an avid gardner with a small retail nursery on the side.

I've been a runner most of my life. I started running in 5th grade when the high school coach started a "run for fun" program at all the grade schools in the school district. Also, growing up my neighbor, who was about 8 years older than me, was a superstar in high school with a 4:15 1600m in the early 80s. So I had some good role models.

Most important, I love the Lord, and serve Him in my church and in Bible Study Fellowship, which is an international Bible Study open to people of all church backgrounds (i.e. interdenominational). If you are looking for a phenomenal way to study the Bible and draw closer to God this is the study for you. Check out BSFInternational.org to find a class near you. They are all over the place!

6.02 miles on Military in 47:14 (7:51/mile)

Cooler today, upper 60s, but sunny. Knee doing ok again. I even jumped upto and off of the concrete siding of the bridge over Hwy 18 without thinking about it. This slab is about 8-10" high and for the last few months I've been stopping to step up onto or off of it.

8 miles on Military in 1:03:01 (7:53/mile)

Feeling pretty good today. Another beautiful day, sunny, calm, low 70s. No knee problems on the run. At this point I am cautiously optimistic that the knee is heading in the right direction, and that I will be able to continue running while it gets steadily better. And it's only been 5 months ;)

9 miles on the SEJ-9 mile loop in 1:11:00 (7:53/mile)

Sunny, 70+, cooler breezes though. The knee was fine until the last mile or two when I was getting fatigued. No pain, just a little tightness.

My highest-mileage week in August was only 19 miles. So far I'm 3 for 3 better than that in September.
