Personal:

born in 1964. married 25 years. one wife one dog

6 ft tall, nation wide

"Engaging in a little suffering — however self-imposed, arbitrary and contrived — before breakfast each morning tends to demand some humility and injects some marked relief into the rest of the day, making things sharper, more inspired, more immediately aware of the powerful presence of being. And that seems really worthwhile." A. Krupicka

 

"I cruised down hills, churned up hills, and floated over the asphalt, existing in a world that seemed to lack the confinements of such ubiquitous rivets as time, obligation, or pain. I knew then that this was destined to be one of those serendipitous runs for which so many of 
us strive yet so rarely achieve." J. Nevels

6 miles - owens/crestview/church loop. first run in these new shoes. i've been running in Saucony's the last several years, mostly in the virrata, but they discontinued that model awhile back and i can't find my size anywhere anymore so i had to try something new. i like running in a "zero drop" shoe and the Altra Torin 2.0 fits the bill. a little more cushion than i'm used to but they felt pretty good on today's run.
