Intermediate

I ran quite a lot in high school and college - to get the girls - then drifted away and got sedentary and fat over the years....until March 2006, when at 316 lbs, I took stock of myself and decided to become who I really wanted to be. Now I weigh around 90lbs. less...and am getting leaner all the time. I will be running my first 100 miler this August and have already done one 50 miler, a 50k, and three marathons.

The mental acuity I acquire in the middle of a long run and the health benefits.

Trails...dirt trails.
