You can read a post Here about how I started running.
Pictures are worth a thousand words right?
Some people say I'm an animal.
Some call me Baby Face.
I used to smoke :(
But now I run!!
I LOVE to run with a few of my closest friends.
I try to keep my head out of the clouds
Sometimes I enjoy "winter sports"
I'm a master at stacking cans on passed out people!
I love to suit up!
I have an amazing family!
Hey everybody, thanks for stopping by! I ran cross country in high school and even captained my team in my senior year! After I graduated I moved to the suburbs of Chicago for Tech school. Going to school full time and working full time all while trying to keep up with friends was a little stressful! I didn't have time for running anymore and therefore let a big part of me slip away. Life got so stressful I started smoking and quit growing my hair! I didn't have a choice in the latter :(
I made it back to Michigan after graduating and even though I had quit for insignificant periods of time I was still smoking and partying away like there was no tomorrow. I realized that at the rate I was going there might not be too many tomorrows left! I quit smoking and started running again in January of 2009 and began training for my first marathon in July. That's when I started this blog as a way to help keep me motivated. The longest races I'd run up to that point had all been 5K's but I decided to go big or go home. Well the race came and went and while it wasn't a total failure it wasn't a total success either. After the rough race and a rough breakup I soon found myself falling back into my old ways. Thankfully I can tell you today that I've been smoke free for over a year (since 1/1/11) and have just completed my first full year of running. Hopefully I keep this interesting enough for you to read along with my while I have fun with life and do some running along the way!

LOVE the Animal costume. Hahaha! And yay for not smoking! (I used to socially smoke in college and now I'm so anti smoking I annoy people. It's the converted who are the worst...)
