About Me

Love me some mexican! Especially Los Portales! Love me some running! 5 states down in my quest for running a marathon in all 50 states. My latest was the Mercedes Benz marathon in Alabama on Feb 10th. I've also tackled Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee (2 times so far!) and Georgia. I travel with my job a bit so I get to do training runs in wonderful places like Detroit and Chicago in the winter?! CRAZY but true. The good news is that I'm out in Cali and Denver and other fun places like that as well. So anyway...let's get our run on and eat some mexican afterwards! Heck yeah!Besides that I'm a baseball fan (saw my first World Series game this past fall! Go Rockies!) and basically just enjoy exploring the life God's blessed me with.Well....have a great night and enjoy the buffet!

My feet hurt but it's a good kinda hurt.

No one should suffer alone. So, why not suffer along with 8000 others for 13.1 or more miles?! How cool is it that I was able to run with several of my friends and get passed by several of my friends...
