Personal:

I am married and have two wonderful kids, 14 and 10. I've been running since 1982. I never get "basic" injuries. I always get the real nasty career threatening kind, like stress fracture of the sacrum, ganglion cyst clamping down on my peroneal nerve.

Today ran the Swamp Stomp race in 31:20 for 2nd overall. Not too bad of a race. Legs weren't completely there. Still feeling the effects of Sam Costa from last week. The weather was perfect, sunny 40+ and very little breeze. Some parts of the course were pretty muddy and the trails were really soft, had a lot of give to them. Ran 2.5 mile warmup and 2.5 mile cooldown. My running buddies did pretty well too, Jeff won overall, Jacki finished 5th overall to take the women's overall title and Aaron finished 6th overall. So, now just 4 weeks to go until the mini. Gotta get some good workouts in, probably a 5K on the 18th. This was a really tough week as I've worked nearly 60 hours and had a lot of disrupted sleep and a lot of job stress.

Great job dude! Why do they call it swamp stomp?

Hey thanks Burt. They call it the Swamp Stomp because it is a trail race at a park that has wetlands in it. Sometimes the course can get muddy in the early Spring. You know, there is also an Ultra race at this same park in Terre Haute Indiana June 13th. So, if you know anyone wanting to do an Ultra in the midwest, it's a good one. www.hawthornhalfdayrelay.com
