• During the middle of my freshman year, a friend
  of mine asked me to try out for our high school
  track team. I hated running at the time but gave
  it a try. Little did I know this was going to be
  a life-changing experience for me

As a Runner

• My running career began in my freshman year of
  high school.
• I competed in various cross country and track
  meets, as well as a few 5ks and three marathons.
• School and work keeps me busy so I cant run as
  much as I want to but I like to do a long run at
  least once a week

To become a better runner
A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest.
I run to see who has the most guts, who can
punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at
the end, punish himself even more. - Steve
Prefontaine
