Husband to speedy wife Allison and father to Camryn (7) and Brandon (5).  Graduate of Weber State University where I played on the tennis team.  I love to run, help others get faster, and always learn about the sport I love.  My wife Allison and I have a blog called AZ Parents on the Run about our running lives with kids.

No run today.  Part of the taper.  It definitely feels weird to not run when I'm already feeling fresh but I'm going to error on the side of too much rest.  I have also cut out my pushups and core work this week just to take all the stress possible off my body.  I'm feeling lazy for sure.  I'm not used to doing nothing.  Tomorrow I'll get back at it with some 1 min pickups and then just a shakeout on Friday.  The weather looks to be pretty good for the race but I've read that Duluth weather is highly unpredictable so I'm not putting much stock into any weather reports until Friday night.  I'm packing for everything though.

You are ready to run fast regardless of the conditions, although I think they are going to be pretty good.

You'll be at the technical meeting on Friday afternoon, right?

We'll be there for Allison but I'll be on the outside peering in through some window dreaming about the day I'll be an elite ha ha. We'll see you there!
