| Introduction | On October 31, 2006 I was 235lbs overweight and way out of shape. I decided to do something about it. I started watching what I ate,changed my diet, and walking to loose some weight. In 3 months I droped 30lbs. I started jogging and biking then playing basketball twice a week. I started running in May of 2007 and ran my first 5K in July of 2007. Every time I ran something I wanted to run farther. I ran my first 1/2 marathon in April 2008, and my first marathon in September of 2008. By this time I had lost 75lbs and started trail running after that and ran my first ultra, a 50K in October of 2008. I found a new love in trail running and wanted to run even farther and training harder and harder. In February of 2009 I ran my first 100 miler. I am currently running as many Ultras as I can, and really enjoy the training and time running on the trails and looking forward to much more. |
