Welcome

Welcome to the random musings of an amature, middle of the pack runner. Postings will be hopefully entertaining, somewhat insightful and if nothing else a break from the day to day grind.

About me;
I discovered running or rediscovered it in early 2007. Previously my running had been due to military or work related efforts and almost always with little goal except to get to the end of it. In the spring of 2007 I decided I wanted to finish a half marathon on or about my 47th birthday and joined the local running club and a training program with the local Fleet Feet store here in Chico CA.
Over the course of the next several months I ran in the Reno Tahoe Odyssey (RTO) which became my favorite event of all time, the Whiskeytown Relays and logged lots of miles till I ran my first half marathon, the Lake Natomas Four Bridges in the fall.
Since then I have completed 6 other half marathons, my first full marathon in Eugene and put together my own RTO team and also ran The Relay this last spring.
I helped coach a first time half marathoners group and am registered to run the Paris Marathon in April of 09. I helped put together a social running group. The Chico Flying Monkeys, Hash House Harriers
Along the way I have met the most amazing people, logged more miles than I can tally and become that dreaded of all people... "a convert" to something.
Friends and fellow runners will laughingly tell you not to "get him started" on topics such as RTO and relays and I have to remind myself that not everyone gets as passionate about this endevor as I do! :-)
So jump in, post your comments and feed back as I try and chronical all my running adventures on the way to Paris next spring-EH
