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.

Took the morning off so Liza could go get a facial. I'll spend time with Elliott and also go to lunch with Fiona at school. They are serving Crispito with Cheese and I have to find out what that is.

Warmed up for a mile and then did a tempo run (2.8 miles) consisting of negative split 4 laps (0.7mi each) paces were 6:51,6:45,6:36,6:32 felt good. Temps were in the 50's.

Oh you are in for a treat my friend! Crispitos are made from only the most delicate food service quality tortillas, then filled with the finest extruded mixture of chicken or beef and beans plus a cheese product that that has never been close to a cow.

I ENVY YOU,Bon Apitite!

Man, I wish I had known you were planning this dangerous adventure -- I could have warned you and possibly saved you!! (Now maybe I should warn Liza about possible,uh, "repercussions" I guess I'll call it!!)

Jon, you were right on target with your description. The scary thing is both my daughter and I loved the Crispitos. We'll see if there are any side effects tomorrow during my long run.
