Come on out for #30

On Saturday, May 4 (in eleven days), I'll be running the Wisconsin Marathon in Kenosha. This will be the 30th time that I run an organized race of 26.2 miles or greater. I think I am in great shape, but I won't know until race day if I can challenge my personal record from Minneapolis last year.

Some may wonder how I am feeling about this race, considering the events that occurred in Boston earlier this month. While the possibility is remote that something could happen in Kenosha, I still feel concern for all the runners and the spectators. I pray for everyone's safety, and I encourage all those in attendance to keep a watchful eye for anything that seems out of the ordinary.

With the above in mind, I would love to see lots of friends and family members out on the course on Saturday the 4th. The race starts at 7 a.m. in downtown Kenosha. If you plan on checking out the race, please let me know. You could potentially hang out with Jenelle and the kids, or with my parents, all of whom plan to be in attendance.

My friend, David, is also running the race. You are welcome to join the two of us and my family for a post-race meal. Again, let me know if you're interested.
