Running Accomplishments:

Just recently returned from Iraq with the Army National Guard. While over there I participated in the Army Ten Miler and various other small races.  In Iraq I began logging my miles to have something to look back at. In my 12 months there I logged just over 500 miles.  May not be much but its a start on my end. 

Short-Term Running Goals:

San Diego Rock'n Roll Marathon, may be Tucson Marathon.

Long-Term Running Goals:

To make running a lifestyle not something you do when your young.  I want to be the "Grandpa" you see at various 5K's..

Personal:

Ok so Im in the Army National Guard, Paramedic as a civilian.  Previously a "Boarde Rat" from Douglas,I moved to Tucson in 1998 to go to school.  I graduated from the U of A in 2003 with a BS in Molecular and Cellular Bio and from Pima with an Associates in Paramedicine in 2006. I love outdoors stuff and Mariachi music.  I think that about somes me up in a nutshell.

Today we decided to do a long run to see how that felt for me.  When I heard that we were doing 12 miles.  I was skeptical for two reasons.  I hadn't ran that type of distance since I was in Iraq and because I had been feeling so weak for the past week.  We went for it anyway and took a nice easy pace.  I felt really good during the run and didn't start struggling until the last 2 miles.  Once we were done we stopped at the Brandi Felton Park, which to my relief had a small water park for kids.  At this moment I was so hot I turned into a kid and we took a good while playing in the water cooling down.  It was a lot of fun.
