- 48 years old, retired Marine living in Patuxent River, MD
- After helping fellow former Marines celebrate completing the Marine Corps Marathon in 2013, I made a vow to join them in 2014.
- I established this blog in the spring of 2014 to keep track and hold me to that commitment.
- Ran and finished the MCM in 2014.
- I also ran and finished the MCM in 2015, 2016 and 2018. I have blog posts tracking in each year that I ran. Fortunately for me, I have been much better than running than blogging
- While this blog serves as a training archive for me, hopefully runners of every age and experience level can find something useful, funny or something they can relate to while training for any long distance race.
- Train to run better…run to finish…enjoy the journey.
