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.

In Wisconsin.... Ran on the snowmobile trail from my parents house. Very nice surface. Groomed and packed down with a 1/2 inch of powder. Very runnable. In forests mostly, some fields, some roads. Turned around when my ziploc bag of mini-marshmellows was empty. Plan to run more trail tomorrow.

Ran with my brother (he was mtn biking) on the snow mobile trail to my parents cabin. Didn't see a snowmobile- just quiet trails through the woods. Fiona and mom met us along the way to give us cookies and warm water. My water bottle froze after 6 miles. Temps were decent when out of the wind- around 15F.

Last day in Wisconsin with decent weather. Supposed to get cold tomorrow.

Ran 7 summits. Up Irma Hill Jr. to top of Rock Falls Rd. Firetower hill and back hom - 7.5 miles and refueled. Up Irma Hill Sr. down on H to Chase Hill Rd. Over Chase hill to and down to dead end and then returned. All but ~3 miles were either climbing or descending. Long straight climbs with summit in distance. Weather was in the teens again.

I got back and did the Wisconsin cool down . Can of Miller Genuine Draft out of the basement fridge. I was ready to sit down and rest when Fiona reminded me I had promised to pull her in the sled outside. Once I changed out of my sweaty clothes, that was a nice cool down.
