Running accomplishments: View my Pikes Peak Ascent/Marathon results
In Sept of 2010 I ran the ADT half marathon in 1:51. I didn't break any land speed records however, it qualified me for the 2011 Pikes Peak Ascent which I am proud to say I trained for and ultimately finished in 4:26!

What I like about trail/mountain running:
The scenery.

Favorite running trail and why:
Barr Trail, it's the only one I've ran.

Treadmills (a necessary evil).

Twenty bucks.

Running related bathroom stop story:
I'm a guy, we are pretty gross and will go anywhere.

Running pet peeves:
People who cut you off or won't move aside during a race. This isn't NASCAR folks.

Something non running related that no one would guess about me:
Completely freaked out by clowns and spiders. My daughter wants to genetically engineer a clown-spider just to torture me.

Other hobbies and interests:
Spending time with my family, anything NFL related, ultimate frisbee, and fishing.
