About me:  I live in the Boston area with my beautiful wife, Beth, my lovely daughter, Julia, and my kickass rat terrier, Gidget. I ran my first marathon last year in Burlington, VT and my overall goal is to do 2 marathons in my lifetime (everyone says they'll do 1, how many people set 2 as his/her goal?). Why do I run:  I enjoy it. It gives me a sense of accomplishment and it keeps me sane. I can't imagine anything being more therapeutic. I honestly think it makes me a better person (wow, that's corny). Why I started running:  I started running 6 years ago to lose weight. I am about 40 pounds lighter now.
