A Word from the Editor~
Good Morning, Runner
Jennifer Zuri
Every once in awhile, something memorable happens on a training run and makes you glad you laced up your shoes that day to hit the road.
I live in Elburn and tend to run the surrounding country roads quite a bit. I've had deer and coyotes cross my path. I've had redwing blackbirds hover threateningly above my head when I near their nest. I've even had an irate, overweight man behind the wheel of a conversion van try to subtly run me off the road while shaking his fist at me. Sad, but true.

| Runner's Bio~ Jon Burmeister
How long have you been a runner and what motivates you to keep running?
I started running in the summer of 2005. I'm not sure what motivates me. I guess I just seem to enjoy running.
How many miles per week do you typically run?
I put in around 40 or so miles per week. I run more when I get closer to a race, but I guess 40 is a good average.
