About me: 
2011 Goals 250 Day Run Streak 5K-22:00 10K-46:00 1/2 Marathon - 1:45 Marathon - 4:00
Why do I run: 
The effects of positive training takes 2 weeks to see. The effects of negative training are felt all the time. Listen. Yeah, it's gonna hurt some. That's the marathon business. But here's the thing. When it starts to get intense, that's not time to panic. This is what you wanted to happen. It means that all the training, all the miles, all the wakeups, all the cold, all the wet, all the sleep-deprived days and all the shit you've done to yourself over the last 6 plus months is finally about to pay off. It means you've put yourself where you wanted to be. You've given yourself an opportunity that very few will ever have. You've given yourself a chance. Now finish it.
Why I started running: 
To keep my sanity "Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started.” - Steve Prefontaine
