About me: 
As far as running...I started young. Won the county cross country and 2 mile race in middle school. Won District and Region my Junior year in indoor track 2 mile. My personal records are...Mile- 4:29 2Mile 10:03 5K 16:01. I ran briefly for Western Carolina University. Quit running in 1996. Picked back up in 2007. Haven't stopped since. Farming and Family keep me busy, so training is not that easy to do these days. I love trail running. Running in the woods for miles at a time is so refreshing. My goal is to run a sub 5 mile again.
Why do I run: 
Lower my resting heart rate. Get muddy. Have fun. Competition. Improve my overall health
Why I started running: 
My father was an elite runner and I wanted the same. Got hooked in the first grade when I won the mile run.
