Running

Talaria

Ever since middle school (1993) I have been running—sometimes more seriously, sometimes less. I ran cross country and track in middle and high school mostly finishing in the middle of the pack. I gave up organized running in college, but kept up my hobby to stay in shape and because I enjoyed it, also doing some local road races.

Since graduating and getting a real job I have continued running, going longer and faster. Here in Cedar Rapids, IA I am a member of Cedar Valley Running Association [External Link], although I still do most of my workouts on my own. It must sound crazy to every non-runner out there, but I have come to enjoy this sport. It is something I really can not explain, but anyone who is a runner deep down inside knows what I am talking about.

(Ultra)Marathons

I have undertaken the test of endurance know as a marathon (and even dabbled in ultras) with both good and bad results. Read on for a complete listing of my accomplishments.

Other Races

I do not run only longer distances but do many local road races too. An incomplete recap of miscellaneous races in which I have competed is available, including my PRs.
