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.

Ran from work to Big Ten Tires to pick up my car after work.  Got chilly by the time I got there at 5:45pm.

Hill repeats in the 3M park.  Not super hard--- at a stride pace.

I've been enjoying "Wire Tap" which is a hilarious radio program from the CBC produced by Jonathan Goldstein.

Evening run in the rain.  Used it as an opportunity to try and clean the Mtn Mist mud off of my trail shoes.

Good morning run with some fast miles.  I got a call in the middle and ended up standing out in the cold for 10 minutes.  I never quite got warmed up again after that.

Parked at Fiona's school and got in a quick six miles.  Felt good.   Gradually sped up from 8:00, to 7:30, and then finished the last 4 miles at 7 min/mile pace.   Sleet and Rain.

Paced Kelly Elmore in her First Marathon!  She did awesomely- 4:41.   She raised money for National Tay Sachs  (NTSAD) .  We all wore  "Running for Elliott" shirts with Elliott's picture on the back.  Great morning.

4th time running this nice 50k.   I got in a nice comfortable pace and was able to keep moving.  Was in third place by the 1st aid station and got into 2nd by the 2nd aid station.   Eric Patterson kept within a minute or so of me until the 3rd aid station (17 miles) but I was able to pull away a bit.    As in previous years, this race gives you lots of alone time in the woods.
