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.

Sounds like a solid week to me.

Which distance are you running at Dizzy?

trying to beat that 50k PR, huh...

From Eric Schotz on Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 17:15:03 from 192.28.0.21

I don't know about that but I've run enough ultras that I definitely care about my time in 50K's. Longer than that is still pure "ultra" where time is secondary.

I changed my mind. I want to do something where I don't know how it will turn out. - 50 miles for me.

Awesome. Good luck!

You could definitely set a 50-mile PR...
