In late 2008 I decided I needed to get in better shape and started running again.  I ran my first formal road race ever, a half marathon, in late 2009.

2013 Races:

June - Riverview 5k  - Bummed I missed signing up for this one. It's one of my favorites!
Sept - Gatorade/Steelers 5k. (Signed up!)
Sept - IKEA Montour Trail Half  (prob not, but leaving it on here)
Sept - The Great Race 10k (My Running 101 goal race)

Long-Term Running Goals:

Finish recovering from my injuries and build mileage.  That is all.

Personal:

My name is Wes, I'm married with two wonderful children. The nickname BaldNSpicy came from the fact that I have been balding for a (long) while now and spicy for my love of very spicy foods (Thai and extremely hot wings are my favorites).  If eating doesn't bring me near tears and leave me sweating, it's not worth eating.  :-)

Oh, and I'm also known for my doorags.

I'm big and round after Thanksgiving!  Curse my wife for picking up Barqs!  I think I've gone through a 12 pack in the last 24 hours.  Oh well, I've got a few weeks before I do it all over again!

So I was checking out runs and Facebook and in the "ads" section of FB I see the Warrior Dash.  My cousin did it this last year and said it was the most fun race she's ever done.  Looks like they're doing one in PA and one in Ohio.  I may have to try and get to one.  Here's a pic of her jumping over the fire (posted without her permission...shhhh!  I'm told it's better to ask forgiveness than permission).  Looks awesome, eh?

I would definitely PR if my shorts were on fire.

Dude! I am all over that warrior dash. Thanks for the tip :)

You should come to Oregon for it.

Looks awesome! Are bandanas genetic?

Rob - I'm with you!

RT - I'd be there in a heartbeat if I had a reason to come out. I'll see if I can bum a free flight from one of my bros.

Joe - Bandanas are...hair isn't.

Reason? A warrior dash should be reason enough. And you can hang out with the Davis' all weekend being warrior-like and stuff. What more do you need?

RT, I need nothing more. I'll see what I can do! :-)
