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

3 miles - little golden loop

first run in the very minimalist, very flat vapor 4's. hearkening back to the Hattori days. i ran many thousands of miles injury free in the Hattori shoe and i'm going to try to get back to that over the next couple of years. for now i'll run a few miles a week in the vapor 4's plus a little barefoot running now and then. really helps improve form and foot strength.

7 miles - campus loops from home - my calfs needed a rest day after friday's run in the vapor4's - 3 miles might have been too much too soon lol - today felt great though, the calfs were still a little sore but just enough to keep me focused on my form
