Chris Edwards' Running Page
I began running in 1999 as something to do between basketball games.
(Back then you had to make your free throw to get in the next game, and I'm not
that great at free throws!) I got the urge one day to see how fast I could run
a mile, and came in at 6:50, in my basketball shoes, which I thought was ok. A
few days later I ran 6:20. After that I was hooked.
I keep track of how many miles I run (mostly because it’s what I do!), and
how many days I run. Here are some figures:

Here are some races I've participated in. Some of these are quite formal
(like the marathons) while others are just informal events sponsored by the Fond du Lac running
club.
