Athletic Background
I grew up playing all kinds of sports from football, baseball, basketball, golf, you name it I probably played. I credit all my athletic ability to constantly being outside running around as a kid.
The first time I ever went out on a run was with my neighbor who were trying to get in shape. He ran a two-mile hilly loop around our neighborhood twice a week. When he invited me to join him I thought maybe running would help me get in shape for baseball season. I was keeping up with him for the majority of the run until we hit the final hill. After we regrouped he said he was impressed I could keep up with him for the majority of the run.
First Run
Taking the baton from Kenny
Today
Since then I joined the cross country team at my high school and eventually quit baseball to join track. I consider that one of the best choices I have ever made. I went on to earn a partial scholarship at Pitt-Johnstown to run on their cross country and track team.
Future
I look forward to running marathons and other holiday-themed races in the future. You can view my latest runs here.
