Demographics:

• 43 year old married male with a great wife, a wonderful teenage daughter and a dog named Sebastian.  I live on Cleveland's west side but work on the east side so I get to do my training runs in all areas of town.
• Marathons run:  just one, the 2012 Cleveland Marathon (5:08)
• Halfs run:  2011 River Run (1:51), 2012 Akron (1:47)
• 10Ks:  just one... 49:35 in 2011
• 5Ks:  quite a few but my PR is 21:30

I started running about 15 years ago.  I'd never run a day in my life prior to that except in other sports.  I started out just jogging around my neighborhood and the purpose was twofold; 1) to get outdoors more and 2) to become more physically fit.

I continue to run to challenge myself, stay fit and to share the experiences with my friends and family.
