First Post!

Welcome everyone to my first blog entry!

Let me explain the title first of all. I know that the title seems a bit gross but I thought it captured the experience of working toward greater running distances. I find that when I get to the extra distance each week my running form will occasionally suffer. Most often my feet get closer and closer together until one of my Brooks Beast running shoes comes in ballistic impact with my ankle bone. Ow! Thus resulting in the condition of a bloody ankle. Sometimes I'm lucky and notice it before this happens but exhaustion sometimes is not like that.

Anyway, with that explained we'll move on to the blog's main topic.

I have been inspired by the likes of Adam Tinkoff and Steve Runner to put my thoughts and experiences out on the web to join this online community. I am determined to keep in shape even as I get older to 'put more life in my years' as I travel through this life. I hope that through being online and involved I can get help from all of you and keep myself accountable to my fitness and health goals. I'm excited to join the ride and play along, I hope we can all keep this momentum going!

Thanks Everyone!
