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.

The CWX tights I wore yesterday for Mtn Mist worked their wonders.  I was fatigued for sure but muscle soreness was almost non-existent.

Stuck on the roads at work.  Picked up the pace on one mile - 7:20 to see how it would feel.  OK.

Nice morning run.  Did some mile repeats followed by a 2 mile tempo.  Not super hard- slightly sub marathon pace but hard enough to know I was working.  6:53, 6:47 , (6:59+7:02).  Felt cold towards the end.  35F and misting.

 Thinking back at my mtn mist, it is very clear what happened.  After getting injured early in my marathon training, I never really have had a decent string of training for 3-4 months.  That takes is toll.  My endurance is still there but I've slid back on my Lactate Threshold and  VO2 max.
