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.

Went through a neighborhood I've never run through before-- scouting out another possible way to get to work..   Ran to Austin HS via 14th then Betty ln. footbridge over to 8th St .  14th St to douthit to Canterbury (new neighborhood for me) which came out on Old Moulton.  I eventually worked my way over to Finley Dr. NW is part of the Princess 10K if that occurs.  It comes out into Old Decatur. 

Pretty chilly day (30's)  but nice and sunny.

Jon and I are planning a ultra training run for 12/24.  We plan to start from my house and run to Fleet Feet in Decatur.   Its going to be around 39 miles.
