Personal: I am a 26 year old male from Chicago, Illinois. I graduated from the University of Colorado in May 2006 and started running in the spring of 2007. Since then I have gone from a max of about 220 pounds to my current weight of roughly 175 lbs, and more importantly have developed a true joy and passion for running. My goal is to qualify for Boston in 2010 and I'm determined to do so!
Also I am cigarette smoker, and realize that I need to quit in order to give myself the best chance of qualifying. Favorite Blogs: |
