About me

Introduction	I started training to run marathons in 2008. Why? Long story, but suffice to say a friend suggested it and I was intrigued. Since then, I've logged about 3000 miles in training. Among those that train for long distances, I am considered 'slow' (I run between 10 and 11 minutes per mile). I run at the back of the pack, hence 'slow man on the totem pole.' As you might imagine, my definition of what a long run is has changed over the years (10 miles is a good run, but not necessarily long). I have a lot of time to think about a lot of different things while logging my daily miles. I hope to share some of what I ponder here. An eclectic mix of what runs through my head as I run along the road to no place in particular.
