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.

28th annual Jesse Owens race in Moulton, AL.  Near JO's birthplace and home till he was 9.  After 1 mile, I tried to stay comfortable and save a little for the end.  Ran 6:20-6:30/mile from miles 2-5.  Another runner, Nathan G, got even with me at the 5 mile mark.  I paced off him for a 1/4 mile and kept my eye on him.  I surged and got a good gap and then relaxed for a little.  Once I got within 1/2 mile of the finish I surged again and ended up 15 seconds ahead of him. Last mile was under 6:10.

For fun, I did the two mile event as well.  Ended up around the same placing overall.  Won the 30-39 age group with a 12:20.

They put on a really good race.  Lots of community support.  Great weather and food.  Awards were very generous.
