My_Running	I'm a slogger, but I'm out there. I wake up at 4 to head out at 5 rain or shine, wind, snow, etc. I live in a residential, high traffic area where running during normal waking hours is not safe so that's why I am up so early. No one is out except me and the paper guy. I run mostly in the road because our sidewalks are quite hazardous and my daytime runs on the weekends are in the country with my dad for a change of pace, some sunlight, the bonding experience and my safety.
About_me	I hope to run a marathon this year. I race but I don't race to win. I race to see PBs. I race for good causes. I race for me. Many people don't believe I"m a runner. Being a Clydesdale, I don't fit the mold. But I'm working on it. I began running to lower my cholesterol. Smoking started to get in the way so I quit and am headed to a smoke free remainder of my life. Happy to say, the cholesterol has headed downward, drug free. I hope to become a better runner and surprise not only my friends, family and coworkers, but myself as well. I never thought I could follow through on anything and here I am!
Running_story	I got run over by a squirrel once. It darted out from under a fence head first into a tree, turned around and headed smack into my foot. The poor thing.
Comments	For anyone who thinks they can't run don't say can't until you've tried. You can if you're willing and able!
