I started running in Spring 2005 to stop a bad smoking habit. By January 2006 I was running marathons and August 2006 I had run my first 50k. I'm originally from Iowa and ran across the state, Summer 2007. My mom was inspired by my running and has since started exercising and has lost 35 pounds!! As of June 2008, I've run 2 - 100 miles, 1 - 100k, 6 - 50 miles, 12 - 50k, 5 - Marathons!
I always have races on my schedule. I completed my first 100 mile race in September 2007. I will be running Western States 100 Mile in 2009 (two time loser rule) and also to Run Across Iowa once again in 2008. This time 50 miles/day for 6 days in a row!
I am also the 2007 PAUSATF Open Mens Ultra Grand Prix Champion!
