Running

I run for fun. I didn't always. I used to run to because I thought I'd get some kind of special trophy for intentionally doing something so painful. It turns out there isn't really a trophy for that. But I did end up getting a hobby that sometimes counts as a sport, so that's kind of cool. And while it still hurts, I love it! It's kind of an obsession.

This is a sampling of my running shoe collection.

And below are links to my upcoming races. You should try one. Run it, jog it, walk it, waddle it, whatever. It might hurt. But it will be worth it. Plus, you can use a good hard race as an excuse to consume a 56 oz. bag of peanut M&Ms in the two days afterwards. Yes, I did this. No, I am not making this up.
PS. Don't let the word "marathon" in that last link scare you. I don't do that part.
