Before there is a goal, there first must be a beginning…

Before we begin, let me give a little history of myself and my experiences.  As a child, from middle school through college, I ran competitively distances that ranged from 5K (3.1-miles) to half marathons.  In high school, I ran all four years as a varsity runner and I have gone to the state championships twice with my school.  I also ran in college track and specialized in the 5K and the 3K-Steeple-chase. 

Running sub-6-minute/mile was easy for me.  Then life got in the way of my workouts and soon enough I gained a lot of weight.  To be honest, the Playstation did not help my health either.  Not only did I discover “laziness” but I embraced it.  Now, I run for my health, for weight loss and to hopefully to get back into a “competitive state”.  I used to be an assistant cross-country coach at Crescent Valley High School (my alumni high school) and have made many different types of workouts.  Most of which I hope to share with you over the coming months. 

Having been competitive to losing weight, you might say that I’ve experienced running on many different levels to accommodate different types of runners and types of runners.  I hope that my experiences and running background will help you achieve your goals as a runner.  Over the coming days, weeks, months and hopefully years, you will be able to take my experiences and meet your personal goals, whatever they may be.

Till then take care and run safe.
