My first entry. Winter is beginning to take hold in Vermont, so I plan on doing much of my running indoors. I grew up in Arizona and I still have a tough time running outside if it's below freezing. I plan on building my base mileage through the winter so I can introduce some quality work in the spring.

Welcome to the Blog! You have some impressive times. Smoking fast. Good for you! Hey whats the connection between Arizona and New England. I have alot of friends and they all have Arizona connections. Coincidence or what? Good luck on your goals.

What part of Arizona did you grow up in?

Hello all. I was 25 when I ran the PR's, and both courses are a little fast. I think my best "flat" 1/2 mary was around 1:10:30. I can't remember and I didn't save many newspaper clippings. I met my future wife in AZ before I joined the Army in 1996. She was born and raised in VT. When I was stationed in Korea for a year, she moved back to VT. I exited the service from Korea and it was Anne's turn to call the shots. So... VT it is... until I get sick of shoveling snow!

Burt: I grew up in Tucson. I miss being able to train outdoors year-round on soft dirt trails. I actually lived about 5 miles from Don Janicki, if any of you remember the name (2:11 marathoner).

I grew up in Kingman, but I live in Queen Creek now. Can you belive I've never gone to Tucson? Someday.
