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.

Ran some Delano Loops with Jon, Eric C. and Bob. 30 minutes before the run it was nice and sunny- mid 50's. It turned cloudy, cooler, with drizzle. All in all it was good weather for running. Calves felt better which was a load off my mind. It was going to kill me to have some freaky random injury on an easy day right after recovering from my sinusitis.

We gradually picked up the pace over each lap. Bob and Eric went sub six on the last mile. I got mine to 6:35 or so. Felt good and got me excited about the 12 hour relay. 100 miles are definitely in reach.

Ran at point mallard after work. Saw Joe Wallace and did a cool down with him. We talked about doing a Sunday run from time to time.

I'm still not 100%. Lungs not back and calves sore. The weather is turning cold again. Its good we are getting the cold out of the way now so it will be nice for the Delano 12 hour. www.delano12.com

Ran afterwork on the 3M trails. It had snowed earlier but not while i was running. I always like running in the snow.

Only had 25 minutes to fit in a quick run on the trails at work. Even short ones are good to clear my mind and recharge for the afternoon.

Right after I got back I went to a meeting (process hazard analysis) so it was 2:30pm when I fnally got around to eating.

Went to the ice rink with Fiona (4 YO). This was her first time skating. She did well and left the rink with sore feet and wanting more.

She didn't go solo yet. I was skating behind her holding both hands. She mostly skate walked but liked it.

I took a quick run after I got home. Finished at sunset.

I was pleased that running 8:00 min/mile felt fairly easy again. The runs earlier this week were all in the 9min/mile range.
