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.

Did 1/2 mile repeats at work.   Two were at 5:30 pace with the others a bit under 6 minute/mile pace.

Easy run at work.  Stiff breeze from the south.

Looking forward to Senior Cup 5K on Saturday.  Looks like it may be wet and rainy.  I like wet.

Senior Cup today.  Rained until about 45 minutes before race.  Made it pretty steamy by race start.

Went well overall.   I probably could have gone a little faster but there was 45 seconds of cushion ahead and behind me  so I was content to cruise and not push too much at the end.  Matched my time from last year to within a second.  Reassuring that I'm not getting slower.

Cooled down with Jon and Eric C.

In the afternoon, I took Elliott for a jog in the stroller.  Very easy.  He was quite content.
