I am a "born again" runner. As a teen ager I was a very HS track and XC as well as very good age grouper, who just didn't know it, and had no confidence. I turned to multi sports, got injured and concentrated on cycling. The one day the real world got a whole of me, I got a job, got married, got some kids, got 60 more pounds, and got diabetes. After several attempts before to start running, I did it again, and lost some weight. In part I gained control over my Type II. I haven't looked back. I have good and bad running days (and weeks, and sometimes months). But overall I enjoy it. To pay the bills I sell IT equipment and software. I also love to watch, coach (and maybe one day play "old man") soccer. I am always looking for somebody to run with, I have some great stories from the "old days" of the sport. SO if you live around Ocean County, NJ let me know and lets go for a run.
To control my inner Hulk (my Type II diabetes), BQ one day, and run new PRs. My goal for 2008 is to set a new 1/2 marathon PR (my old one was set in 1987) and go sub 4 in the full. I would also like to also break 20 minutes in the 5K for the first time since 1988. And most importantly to run and finish a 5K with my wife one day.
I do not have any running logs yet.
