My Running History

I started running because of my wife, Adria. She first started running in late 2006 and just would not shutup about it! Finally, in early 2007 I caved and started running with her. The main reason I started out was that I somehow got the Marathon bug. Adria was always talking about Marathons and constantly showing me web pages about it. At some point, I just decided that I wanted to give it a shot.
So, I went out running with her one day and…. nothing. It didn’t do too much for me but I kept going. After about a week I was hooked and went to the local running store and bought the gear I would need for it. I love a good challenge and as I started learning about UltraMarathons and Endurance Running, I realized that I really wanted to start participating in those and - eventually start winning them.
The next part of this story is already written up on “Why Heart Rate Training“.
If you read through my stats and my updates you’ll see I’m not a fast runner by any means. I’m good with that. I know that I’m building up my phsyiological ability to be a fast runner over great distances, and that’s what I truly want to be doing. I keep looking at the mountains here (most of them are 4,000 - 5,000 foot gains) and planning out training runs up them.
