Location: St. George,UT,AmericaUSAEarth Member Since: Jun 13, 2008 Gender: Male Goal Type: Other Short-Term Running Goals: St. G marathon w/ my good friend Mike. Long-Term Running Goals: not to run any more marathons. Personal: Yes, I am a Virginia Tech Hokie. I pretty much live and die with VT football, so hide the pups indoors this fall if the season goes south.
I grew up in NJ, competed in middle school XC, was primarily a 400m sprinter (& XC) in h.s., and an 800/400m mid-distance runner at Virginia Tech. Graduated VT with an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, and currently am involved with the youth.
This blog is dedicated to my family and friends. I have 2 (er 3, sorry Tambo!) wonderful sisters and 2 very supportive parents. Kim is a Graphic Designer in D.C., and at one time rode and trained horses; Melissa is an English Lit teacher at an all-girls h.s. in NJ, in addition to being the XC/track coach. She really likes comma splices. Tammy is an Elementary Teacher and a crazy good soccer/basketball athlete, lives across the block from my parents, and is very funny. All 3 have run at least one marathon. I believe Tambo has run more marathons than I have. I am ok with that. I am very proud of them all. Oh yeah, also 2 screwball huskies, Apollo and Zeus.

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows that it must outrun the fastest lion, or it will be killed.

It doesn't matter if you are a lion or if you are a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running. |
