Location: SLC,Ut,USA Member Since: Jul 31, 2009 Gender: Male Goal Type: Boston Qualifier Running Accomplishments: It was an evening in November 2005 that I'll never forget...I was nearing the end of a long term relationship when I needed to unleash some pent-up anger. I was driving past a baseball park near my house, when something told me to park my car, and just RUN!! It wasn't long before I moved on with my life and continued running for new reasons. I now run because I am truly obsessed! It is a way of life, and I feel incomplete without my weekly runs. I have completed 28 half marathons, 78 marathons, 7 ultramarathons, and a few other distance runs.

Beat my old pr's Long-Term Running Goals: A marathon in each state, a few ultramarathons.... Personal: I have a wonderful wife, Melissa, who does not understand why I would want to punish my body with running marathons, but she is very supportive. She patiently awaits my arrival at the finish line of most of them. I slipped on a shirt at the last mile of the Ogden Marathon in 2008, that asked: "Melissa, will you Marry Me?" It was a wonderful moment! |
