Personal:

52, married for 30 years to the same wonderful woman, 2 grown kids, 1 grandson.

That's my son and I in the picture at the 2007 Buffalo Run.  He's always a big help and a pretty cool kid.

I direct the Antelope Island Buffalo Run, the Mountain View Trail Half Marathon, and the Antelope Island 50K/100K, all on Antelope Island State Park.  The website is www.buffalorun.org

Come on out and run it, we have a good time.

Went to Clearfield Aquatic this morning.  5 miles around the gerbil track then 1000 yards in the pool.  Lots of people doing laps on the track.  Must be those new years resolutions.  I imagine the crowds will taper off in a few weeks.

Anytime we go somewhere, I look for a local race to run.  We're in Rockford, IL for the week visiting our daughter and I happened to find a little trial 10K.  It's put on by the same person that took over my race I started when I lived here, the Rock Cut Hobo Run.  About 200 showed up to brave the 20 degree temps and nice little breeze. 

The start was at noon, so I didn't have to get up early.  Once the race started I warmed up pretty quick and never did get cold until the finish.  The course took us around Pierce Lake, in Rock Cut State Park, some of my old trail stomping grounds.  We also got the chance to cross the lake twice for a total of about 1 mile on the lake ice.  Makes for a little different run.

My time wasn't too bad figuring that I was running on some treacherous single track, 4-6 inches of snow, hopping logs, and getting stuck behind slower people with no way to pass.  Oh well.  I figure I probably finished in the top third.  I'm happy with that.
