| Introduction | This is to be a blog of an aspiring amateur distance runner and crazy Vibrams and minimalist wearer. I can be a bit self-reflective in my writing, and I guess I need my thoughts to float out into the ether of the internets. I’m also writing to try and answer that question on just why am I pursuing ultra-marathons and trail running in the first place. I’ve always had a passing interest in running, did a lot of long solo runs in high school where I would more or less try and run myself into a coma as a way to deal with all the stress I encountered growing up. My running dropped off a lot once I entered college and became a working stiff afterwards; I would always attempt to return to running periodically but the excuses of life has always gotten in the way of pursuing running seriously...until I read the book “Born to Run” several years back and it changed my whole outlook on life and reignited my love for running. |
| Interests | Running, listening to various NPR programs (This American Life, On Point with Tom Ashbrook, Radiolab, Fresh Air, Science Friday, amongst a few of my favorites), Sci-fi and Fantasy (can geek out to Dr Who and Star Trek one moment, and be engrossed in the latest book in the Game of Thrones series later in the week), News and politics (a symptom of listening to too much NPR), Vegetarian/Veganism (of which I like to say I'm 95%'ish Vegan), environmentalism (why I love to run trails so much, to be surrounded by nature), and documentaries of all sort. |
