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)

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.

A short trail run on the white trail at Desoto and then on the road down to highway 137 towards Valley Head. Jon and I were lost for awhile and went back and forth on the same 1/2 mile stretch 4 times until we figured out which way we were going. Calf got tight towards on the end on cty road 603 during the long 2 mile downhill.

The run started badly. My left calf immediately started to hurt. Pain increased and I stopped and walked 3 times by the time I reached the firehouse (0.6 miles). I went in to use the bathroom and stretched and tried again. Went really slow and was able to run without calf pain. My shin was now super tight. Weird. I ran a quarter mile and then went into the fitness center. I dabbled on the elliptical for 3 minutes and got bored and went out to run again. The elliptical was no easier on the calf so I'd rather be running. I was able to run with no calf pain the rest of the run. Shin was tight but it go better with after I stopped and massaged it.

I managed a pain-free mile at 8:20 which was a small victory.

I need a deep tissue massage big time.

An improvement over yesterday. Left shin down near ankle was sore early but it loosened up. I didn't push things as I am along way from feeling 100%.

Once I got off the trails and back on the plant roads, I was able to do a pain-free 7:24 mile .

I'm up to sixteen 3Mers that have signed up for the Liz Hurley 5K. A couple have never competed in a 5K before.

Very Painful. It took 2.5 miles for my shin to loosen up. My left leg although pain free never felt right.

I'm starting to think its because I put my 2140's in the freezer overnight. (they smell better but something is amiss)

I'm ordering a new pair. I'm going to switch back to Kayano's I think.
