Thanks for the welcome. I'm just a stubborn hack when it comes to running. I'm what Daniels describes as a runner with a lot of desire and heart, but short on natural ability. I regret I didn't pick up running earlier in my life. The plan is to max out what God given ability I have and hopefully be a late bloomer.
