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.

| Final Day of Run Across Alabama. Ran 3 miles before injuries to quads and ankles forced 8 miles of walking. With strength from family and crew, I was able to run the rest of the way to Red Bay, AL and Mississippi. |

| Ran trails at work. Quad is very tight. Only can feel it when I really extend my leg. Felt good otherwise. Finished with a 7:52 mile. Still pondering the Bartlett Park 50k.

| another good lunch run. Started some weight training to beef up my quads. Prettty light so far. Didn't want to push it with my quad still a little injured. Three sets of 10. Leg extensions - 50 lbs., Seated leg press - 90 lbs. I may add in curls. Weight training is too boring to do anything else. |

| Got rained on while running home from work. Real hard for about 1/2 mile. Picked up the pace a little once it tapered off (a couple miles at 7:15 pace). When I got home, I grabbed a piece of pepperoni pizza and ate it as I ran over to Big Ten Tires to pick up my car. Had nails in tires. Probably nails hanging around from us having our roof replaced. |

| Did two 1-mile repeats on Finley Island Rd. to gradually get my racing legs back. 6:09 downhill,tailwind (felt smooth, comfortably hard), 6:20 uphill,headwind (hard). Better than I thought I'd do. |

| easy jog around the waste water plant, a couple weeks ago some contractors were using lime to neutralize some sludge, it was a hot day and the reaction was hot enough to start a little grass fire, that was entertaining as I ran loops by, pretty minor fire- mostly smoke, |

| Ran a road loop in the rain. Enjoyed the straightaway on 4th Ave. Nice road for a tempo run or repeats. Flat wide road. 1.3 miles. Felt good - kept things 7:10-7:30 pace. I think I'm going to scrap thinking 8 min/mile is my long run pace. 7:30 now. I'm getting excited about the marathon (December) already. A bit too soon don't you think? |

| Nice run on the trails. Feel pretty good my upcoming run at Bartlett park. Goal is sub 5 hours. If I'm feeling good, I might switch to the 40 or 50 miler. |

| Ran a few loops along the river and then went to the fitness center and lifted a bit. EX-3X70, LP-3X110. I've been inching up the weights and this seemed about the right amount of burn during the third reps. Best part is I'm in and out of the weight room in 5 minutes. |
