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.

After a run around the neighborhood, ran over to downtown with Jon. We had a simulated race on the Steeple Chase 8K course. Loser buys chocolate milkshakes. The coons and crew came over too. David, Jon, and I ran together through 1/2 mile and Jon stuck together through 1 mile at 5:45. This was the first time I'd run sub 6 since the Winter Winds back in February. I was hurting. Jon pulled away on the Gordon Street bridge crossing. I felt like giving up but I kept plugging away. After 2.5 miles, the gap stayed pretty constant and I actually gained on Jon a little. We ran buy the farmer's market which was in full swing. I ended up being about a block behind Jon when he crossed the finish line. My time was 31:50. I was pleased. Nice to know I'm well within 40 min - 10K shape already only a couple weeks into my speed work. McDonald's milkshake machine was out of order so we settled for O.J. We took it to go and we jogged the last 1.5 miles home - O.J. in my bottle in one hand, fresh and steamy sausage biscuit in the other.
