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.

3am rise, on the road by 4am.  I wanted to have this been my only big mileage day of the work week.  Ran laps around WJ elementary-  I found out later that I woke up Allen Pendergrass's dog which woke him up at 4:20 am. whoops!  Good watch dog.  I met Wayne at 5AM and took the long way to work - cemetary loop and then 2nd St.  Wayne let me try lime citrus Cytomax (his favorite).  I liked it.     Easy run at lunch.   The run home was pretty uneventful.

the hardest part so far in the training isn't all the running, its the sleep deprivation.  I try to get all my mileage in before 7am on weekdays and 8am on weekends.  My runs home have me leaving at 4pm and getting home around 5:20pm.  By the time the kids are in bed and all chores are done, its normally 8:00 pm and I have no energy for running. 

 Morning 14.72, lunch - 4.46, Afternoon - 9.58

My early run on monday took alot out of me in the sleep department. I'm "sleeping in" tomorrow (up at 5am )
