Bjørnmannen
As it seems customary to give an introduction in this forum, I thought I would drop a line to say hello to everyone and to introduce myself. I've been lurking and occasionally posting on RA and RWOL for a few weeks. I just recently started to run this fall (in September) and will run my first half marathon this weekend. I plan to keep building my base and hopefully will run my first full this summer!
I live in Nashville and am a former musician and current law student. Mostly did team sports in my younger years but decided to take up running to have something to do together with my girlfriend, to get in better shape, and to take on a new challenge. I've become a little nutty/obsessed with the sport since starting.
I've enjoyed reading and learning from y'all over the past few weeks and I look forward interacting with and getting to know you all better!
Thanks!

Sloooow.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

I'm not sure how well you're going to fit in Matt, none of us here are obsessed with running.
Welcome to the madness!

Hi!
Damn, I guess I should get around to my introduction at some point too :P.
In the words of my late-coach : Just hang in there, relax... and at the end of a race anyone you see.....just pass them
