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.

Felt the best I have so far. I'm getting my running optimism back.

In the past 7 days, I've run over 30 miles.  That is progress.

nice run.  Did laps around the waste water treatment plant (that is more pleasant than it sounds).  Nice soft gravel road.  River views.  No odor.

Nice morning run.  Went to Delano and ran laps until I was ready to come home.  Felt good.
