| Introduction | I began running in High School. I was never that good, truthfully. While in the military I started a Coast Guard racing team in Jacksonville, FL for a couple of years. At most we were about 15 strong and primarily focused on 5/10k's. After moving back to Colorado, I began studying varied traditional Japanese martial arts for about 17 years until an injury sidelined me. Then, after a couple more years and a LOT of pounds later, I decided to run to lose weight. That turned into trying to run 100 miles in a month, which then turned into my first half-marathon attempt. Now it's 3 years later, 5 half-marathons, 3 full marathons, and many 5k's later. Later this year I'll be attempting my first ultra marathon, the Bear Chase 50k in Colorado. I love Colorado. I'm spoiled here. I've lived several other places but this is and will always be home. I'm 10 minutes from the foothills and 20 from the mountains. It's a wonderful place to live and an amazing place to run. I currently live in Littleton with my teenage son and a 4 year old pug/chihuahua. I can sometimes be seen in my natural habitat running along the South Platte River trail. |
