Personal:

I ran 400m/800m track and played soccer in high school, and played soccer on partial scholarship at a small college (Transylvania U).  Got a somewhat useless degree there and moved on to the state school (and the greatest basketball program in the universe :) and graduated from the University of Kentucky in 2008 (weighing about 50 lbs. more than I should've)  Started running again in 2009.  What started off as a weight loss plan turned in to a rekindled obsession... :)

I'm married to my beautiful wife, Tiffany, with no kids... yet :)

We have a retarded dog that likes to eat all my good running socks. :)

Pink Power 5k in town.  Road bike 7mi. over to race, 1.1 warmup, race, 1.1 CD, bike homw 7mi.

Race went okay - 5:50 for mile 1, okay through 2, and died for last 1.1.  Really though I'd be more like 18:15... plenty more opportunities for that after Carmel Marathon in April.  Grand Canyon trip coming up next week - maybe I'll see some of you crazy guys out there! :)  We're just hiking, though - hopefully some early morning trail running is in the cards though. :)  We'll be on Hermit.
