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.

car had a flat on the way home from work. On the bright side, I had a nice run home from Big 10 tires this evening.

Got rained on while running home from work. Real hard for about 1/2 mile. Picked up the pace a little once it tapered off (a couple miles at 7:15 pace). When I got home, I grabbed a piece of pepperoni pizza and ate it as I ran over to Big Ten Tires to pick up my car. Had nails in tires. Probably nails hanging around from us having our roof replaced.

Did two 1-mile repeats on Finley Island Rd. to gradually get my racing legs back. 6:09 downhill,tailwind (felt smooth, comfortably hard), 6:20 uphill,headwind (hard).

Better than I thought I'd do.

easy jog around the waste water plant, a couple weeks ago some contractors were using lime to neutralize some sludge, it was a hot day and the reaction was hot enough to start a little grass fire, that was entertaining as I ran loops by, pretty minor fire- mostly smoke,
