Personal:

I am 45 years old with 2 boys. One is 21 and the other is 17. I will also be a new father again in early Feb 2015. Don't know if its a girl or a boy as we want to be surprised. I have never been a long distance runner but was fairly fast as sprinter when I was young so many years ago. I want to always do what I never think is possible which is a big reason I want to see if I can build up the endurance to run long distances. I think it would be great to complete in some ulta distance runs as well. I work out 3-4 days a week with a trainer. Been doing so nearly a year now accomplishing things I once thought impossible. Did a dead lift from 18 inches off the ground for 558 pounds in Oct. this year. Hope to get 658 next year. Also I can hit a golf ball a very long distance. Longest recorded to date is 410 yards and would even like to compete at the Long Drive World Championships some day. As you can see I have a lot of goals or lets just say things I love to do. I like to put all my goals out there and see what happens. I was taught there is nothing you can't accomplish if you put your mind to it. Of course nothing comes without tremendous drive and dedication.
