Hello, I have been running for About 5 years now! I live up on the Iron Range and do the majority of my runs up here, though I do run in races all over. I have run 8 marathons, and a few Half Marathons! Lately my focus has been on getting in more Half Marathons, because after running my first one in June 2012, I decided I loved the distance! Running is a huge part of my life, and I plan on doing it for many years to come. I love participating in races, they are always such a fun time and you can meet many interesting people at each event. I have met several runners over the years and have heard many interesting stories about their runs, and places they have traveled! Running is a great hobby that I feel most people can do, for me it is about competing with myself, and staying healthy at the same time!

May 3, 2009: One Race Down
I ran the Cardinal Fiesta run yesterday morning to kick of my first race of the year. I saw a couple Familar faces like David Hyopponen, who I have seen at the Mesabi College race the last couple years. Him and Jason Bond were pretty much neck and neck the whole race until the end where an all out sprint in the final stretch resulted in Jason finishing about a half second ahead with a time of 17:13. Congratulations to them both for such a strong race! I finished 6th over all with a time of about 21:03 I believe the clock was at, this is right about where I expected to finish. Now I have a starting point, my goal is to get under 20 minutes for a 5K this year. I am glad to be done with the first race, and now I am looking ahead to the Sam I am race on the 31st, which will be my first 10K race!
