Personal:
I have five brothers and five sisters,
all younger. I'm currently a PhD Student in the CSEM (computational science) program at UT Austin. Married, no kids (yet). I've been dealing with some issues in running the last few years, and am trying to get back into top shape.
Ran 10 miles today. Tried a 5K time trial, but DNF-ed just before 7 laps. As a punishment, my Dad had me run another 3200 in 10:18. I learned that I actually don't run better without competition.
