Dear Running Dorks (I know I can address this to you
because you are the only ones who would take the time to actually read a blog
of some other runner...either that or you are a stalker, or a distant family
member),
The year of 2009 is now upon us. I haven't the faintest
whether this is the Chinese year of the bear, dragon, or naked mole rat. What I
can say for certain is that this is the beginning of a promising new year. The
track season is a few months away but let's not be fooled. Now is the time to
be out there lacing up our Nikes, Asics, Brooks, Mizuno, or whatever brand
tickles your fancy, and hitting the trail, pavement, snow, ice, heaven, and
hell. I hate to sound like those cliché motivational posters but my best words
of advice are, winning in the future is the culmination of hard work and perseverance
of the past (can I trade mark that or something).
On top of my studies, my running, and my job I am going
to use this blog to keep you all updated on the work I am doing to give myself
a fighting chance at winning this year. I encourage you to not only follow me
in my journey to become a better athlete, but I challenge you to use my
struggles, pain, and achievements to fuel your hopes and dreams of being better.
A kid taking the road that has probably been taken
before, just doing it in my own style,
