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 hotel in Tiburon, through Mill Valley and Sausalito, and climbed up to the Golden Gate bridge. I went across the bridge (1.5 miles) and then along the bay to Fisherman's wharf where I caught a ferry back to Tiburon at Pier 41. |

| nice workout. I was definitely still feeling the effects of my trip and my long run but all-in-all it was good. Trent Dean passed me like a freight train in the last 0.1 miles. I had a gear that i don't think I have at the beginning of a 5K. | |

I knew I didn't want to race another marathon in December so pacing the 3:15 group was a fun day to spend a Saturday morning. I couldn't slack off much but this pace was slowed enough so I felt decent the entire way. I had quite a crowd following me nearly all the way. As we got past 18 miles , we dropped people gradually.
Note to self: Do not wear Lunar Racers on this length of race again. The top of my right foot was hurting the last 13 miles of this race and for over a week afterwards. | |

| Up in Cincinatti for Christmas. Ran around the streets of Wyoming,OH as the sun went down. Snow here but not too cold. 29F or so. |

| After picking up donuts at the local bakery, I ran around Wyoming,OH again. This time on the east side of Springfield Pike. Nice area. Fun place to run. Donut tasted really good once I got back home. |

| Back at work. I was about to bail on my lunch run - it was way past noon and I was dragging a bit but I headed out and ended up having a great run. Kept all miles under 8 min. Listened to This American Life and the end of the Mac Break Weekly podcast. The prize was hearing how to print from the iPad which was our family's favorite gift from Santa. I couldn't get the iPad browser to update this website though while in Cinci. |

| Nice easy run at lunch. I feel pretty fresh so it will be interesting how the 50K goes tomorrow. I'm not expecting miracles since my training and fitness is not great but decent. My weight is up about 15 pounds from where I'm normally at my best. I want to get back down between 160 and 165. This morning I was 177. not unhealthy by any means but cutting a little weight sure makes it easier to run fast. |
