| Introduction | I've run everything from 5K's to Marathon distance for over 20 years, participated in Triathlon since 1994 - everything from sprint to half ironman to my biggest challenge of all - Ironman USA in 2000 & 2001. That's 2.4 miles in the water, 112 miles on the bike, and then a marathon - 26.2 miles and with that, my legs STILL speak to me...141 miles in one day and Kona dreams on the horizon. I've also recently taken up Taekwondo with our son, Zachary. This year will be my year to start giving back to the wonderful sport of running and triathlon by participating in this year's Bank of America Chicago Marathon through the charity, Organization For Autism Research. I've titled this blog, "A Change of Pace" because it so appropriately describes the different path my life has taken and how I've "slowed down" to enjoy the many things life has to offer - things I didn't allow myself to enjoy prior to the birth of my son. |
| Interests | My Family, Running, Taekwondo, Triathlon, Biking - pretty much anything outdoors. Reading with our son, sunsets over Lake Michigan, but most of all, experiencing life through the eyes of my son! |
| Favorite Movies | Caddyshack, Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Shawshank Redemption, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Schindler's List, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Meet The Parents, Meet The Fockers, Cinderella, The Lion King, Saving Private Ryan, Gone With The Wind, Silence Of The Lambs, Amadeus, E.T., the extra terrestrial....the list goes on.... TV: SURVIVOR! (I will be on that show someday) and one of the most hilarious shows on TV, "The Office". Also, CSI-Las Vegas & Forensic Files. |
| Favorite Music | It pretty much depends on my mood. I like classic rock, hip-hop, alternative. I like some jazz and a bit of country (have to be in the mood for both). I absolutely love classical. |
