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.

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.

Did my Elliott St. run.   Elliott's street is too short, I wish it were longer.
