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 miles today are what I call "Life" miles until I come up with or read about another term. These miles are built around life's requirements. My running to work is a good example. I take what would be 40 minutes a day in the car and use that time for running. Elliott had two prescriptions at Walgreens so instead of hopping in the car I ran the 1.75 miles over there and back. When I walked in the door, the dog needed a walk so I took elliott in the stroller and did a very slow jog. Hank, our 100 lb four year-old chocolate lab mix, has bad hips so I like to stay slow enough that he doesn't break into a gallop (if that applies to dogs)..

| We had a company cook-out today. Everyone was heading to pick up their hot dogs, hamburgers, cake, chips, soda, etc... I was able to fight the urge and head out for a quick run. I got to the cafeteria 10 minutes before they packed everything up. There was lots of fruit leftover (grapes, strawberries, etc..) Yummy. I had a hotdog too with sauer kraut and chili on top. Loaded! | | Add Comment |

| Nice day for running. Ran to work (8:30 pace), ran at lunch, ran home (7:45 pace). Felt good. I'm figuring out how to miss all the traffic (factory shift changes). If I leave home at 5am, I miss the 3M shift change on State Docks Road but I'm before the Wayne Farms shift change. If I leave after 4:20, I am after all the shift changes on Ipsco Rd. (must a little after 4pm). Crossing Hwy 20, 67, and 24 give me some built in rests. Not in the mood for kamikaze road crossings. | | Comments(3) |

| The area was under tornado watch, flash flood warnings, and thunderstorm warnings. I waiting until the last line of T-storms past and got in a relatively dry run at 8:30pm. Always fun to watch the storm water culverts filled to capacity. Our driveway was flooded over as well. Didn't feel great because I ended up running about an our after a fairly big meal. Wind was very strong coming back south towards home from Delano. |

Got up early and did a nice easy long one. Ran over to Delano and did several laps. Four contractors were working on the playground before 7am. Impressive. They were working with brick and cinderblock. About 7:30, I noticed kids starting to appear at Decatur High. More and more came until it was a steady stream. When I headed for home at 7:40, they were all congregated at the west entrance. Each student carrying a piece of paper and calculator. I flashed back to high school and the ACT and knew that this wasn't going to be a typical Saturday morning for these kids. Felt good during the run. Caught up on my NPR and Endurance Planet podcasts.
