Paul

I began my journey into the running world starting in October 2008.  I was sitting on the couch feeling sluggish and lazy when I popped in the movie "Run Fat Boy Run".  Even though it was a stupid comedy, its story reminded me of how good I felt when I ran in college many pounds ago... 

I started the following week and ran 6 miles that first week which I had to run and walk.  After that run, I decided to keep going and sign up for the White Rock Half Marathon just 10 weeks later.  I finished the White Rock Half in December in just a shade under 2 hour 9 minutes.  My journey continued on to run the Cowtown Full Marathon in February 2009 and many other smaller races after that.

I recently finished the Chicago Marathon in October where I decided to put my hours of training to good use by running for the charity St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, the White Rock Marathon in December, and the Houston Marathon in January.

After 3 marathons in 4 months, and 4 in the past 12 months, the spring training will be focused on half marathons and getting some much needed rest.
