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.

Run on the beach at sunrise.  Wonderful breeze.   Pushed elliott later in the morning to the light house and back.

Achilles sore.  lots of massage and ice.

Took Elliott out again in the afternoon.   When I got three miles out, my achilles and lower calf started complaining big time.   I adjusted my stride -  more leg lift and less toe-off.  I was able to keep going but it kept hurting the entire way back.    I may be due for some time off to heal this thing before it gets much worse.  I've had several good weeks of mileage in a row so I wouldn't lose much to have an easy week.

more rest and ice,  dug in the sand, splashed in the waves, played with the girls in the waves, walked with elliott,  enjoyed a beer on the beach,  started reading George Sheehan's "Running and Being" -- great read so far,  ended the day with a hot fudge sundae,  maybe I'll run Thursday,  maybe not...

Felt like I hadn't run in a year, I was nervous about this run for fear that I'd still have pain after 3 days of rest.   No pain!!  Whew!   I didn't want to push my luck and run any more.  Took it real easy.

More tomorrow then driving home on Sunday.

Another pain free easy run.  I may actually be somewhat healed.   My calf still feels weird- tight maybe
