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.

Went down to the Cullman Midnight run with my brother, Chris, and nephew , Jordan. Jordan is 13 and in 8th grade. Ran cross country last year and said he had times ranging from around 14-17 minutes in the 2 mile. He had never run a road 5K before so Chris and I stuck with him the entire time to help pace and hopefully motivate.. This race has really grown over the years- they had 700 runners this year. It made it quite crowded on the dark streets with the complimentary fluorescent necklaces bouncing along providing most of the light. Jordan ran a really good race. The middle mile was mostly uphill but we were able to pick it up to finish a fast final mile. Jordan pulled a nice sprint at the end to nip his dad at the line. Ended up with a 26:04. I had to sneak in front of a 15 year old girl in the finish chute to make it a triple Schotz sequential finish.

211   26:04 Jordan       Schotz          13  Gleason         WI 
212   26:05 Chris        Schotz          38  Gleason         WI 
213   26:05 Eric         Schotz          37  Decatur         AL

My brother commented that the running was actually enjoyable. This from someone who hasn't run or ran a race since 1992. He has started thinking about triathlons again.
