About Me
I started running in May of 2006. Within a month I ran my first race, a local 5K, which took me over 30 minutes to complete.
While I wasn’t thrilled with my time I was hooked on the sport.
As 2006 progressed, I ran in over 15 races of multiple distances of 5K’s, 10K’s, and even raced in my first Half Marathon.
By the end of the 2006 season, I improved my 5K time by over 7 minutes finishing my last 5K in 23:10
I’m excited for what 2007 will bring as I have already signed up for two Half Marathons and my first Marathon scheduled for November of this year.

Though it’s been a (long) while, I used to run marathons. I ran three Marine Corps marathons (1990, 1992, 1993) and my top time was 3hr 22 mins. I probably couldn’t run a 5k now without needing medical assistance
Keep on running! Once my wife and I get a handle on our taxes, we’ll be making a donation to your worthy cause.
