I'm a service manager for a Chrysler dealership. I'm married with 2 kids and 2 dogs. I guess I'm lucky because if I had to do it all over again, I would not change a thing. I was a big time runner from the late 70's to 1989, then I injured my knee while training for the MT. Washington Road Race. I quit running for 16 years until I got the urge again to pick up where I left off. I was watching Rocky on labor day weekend 2004 and was inspired to resume training and get up Mt. washington in June of 2005. So after 9 months of training, I made it and completed where I left off. Now I continue to run and love getting back to th e races. I also do weight training 4 days a week and try hard to maintain a decent level of fitness.
