When I started running and what got me started:
When I was 22. I was starting to get overweight.

What does running mean to me:
While it comes from God, my life's aspirations develop during runs. I was not able to run for three and a half years (IT band). It really sucked, I gained 30+ pounds, and it was overall very depressing. Then I read Born to Run and started running on the ball of my foot. I have been injury free since.

Fargo Marathon - 3:49
Olympic Distance Triathlon - (forgot time)

What I like about trail/mountain running:
Its super challenging. No cars on the side of the road. Scenery. Fit people gather there.

Favorite running trail and why:
Barr trail - challenge.
Columbine trial - more easily doable but still good incline.

Favorite trail/mountain race and why:
Still new to COS.

Running in Monterey, CA, Anchorage, AK, Germany, Turkey, Crete, Greece,

Worst running experience:
8 hour miserable weather adventure race in Texas
