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)

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.

I'm feeling a lot better.  I'll take tomorrow off still and then may try running on Saturday.  No more fever and aching.  Coughing is almost gone as well.   Still some chest congestion.  My February mileage is depressing but I'm very glad this illness is about behind me  and my plantar faciatis is non existent.     I'm still hopeful a 3:15 Georgia Marathon is still in the cards.

Ran the Steeple Chase 8K course with Jon.  Nice day- around 40F.  Ended up averaging around 8:20pace.

Felt good to get out there.  Still a little chest congestion but nothing of worry.  Course was fun- Gordon Dr Bridge crossings will give runners a unique view of leaders and chasers at a couple points.  Certification should happen a week from now if all goes as planned.

At about 4 mile, had  sharp pain in my upper right calf.  I've never hurt exactly in that place before.  It felt almost like a cramp but it didn't spasm.  I stopped and stretched and pushed on.  After a half mile, it started in my left upper calf as well.     Calf pain is fairly common for me but never that high.     Both were sore about 3 hrs later.  I'll roll with The Stick and stretch again.
