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.

my mind is in a complete fog, I have no recollection of where I went on this run

I just remembered.

Ran across the 14th street bridge, down central pkwy to the bike trail , on to 2nd St. SW and then back home past Delano Park and Decatur High.

Interval work today.  My body is not used to running this pace.    Did 1000m repeats with 3 min active recovery. I was supposed to do four but stopped about 100m into the last one.  On the others, I hit my target pace of 5:45-5:52/mile but it was a struggle.  Things will get easier.

Morning refuge run.  Ran half of it with Rob, Kathy, Blake , and Josh who were doing a 40 mile training run to get ready for their 100s.  

Felt good.
