Personal:

I am a 34 year old male from Chicago, Illinois. I graduated from the University of Colorado in May 2006 and started running in the spring of 2007. Since then I have gone from a max of about 220 pounds to my current weight of roughly 175 lbs, and more importantly have developed a true joy and passion for running.

Mission accomplished - Boston 2010 is next (already registered)!! Also raised $2000 for the American Cancer Society in the process.

Thanks everyone for your great advice and words of encouragement! 

Check it out, made the chicago sun-times website (running through Chinatown - mile 23, that's me on the right) with my german friend/running coach Martin. Sweet.
