Personal:

35 yrs &  6'1 142 lbs. No wife, no kids, 1 white deaf dog named Diogi.

Never ran high school cross country/track. Ran a 5:38 mile in freshmen gym class cross country mile race...where I tried to recruit friends to bunk the event and walk but no one walked with me and everyone took off...after about 15-30 seconds I said screw it and took off with a vengenace from the rear of about 200 kids. Passed everyone and was going to take the victory but on the last 100-200m Tuffy Mills (sophmore track & football/basketball player) kicked hard and smoked me.

2012 aged 32yrs old got back into running and ran another 5:38 mile.

16x400 m  *my 1st ever 400 m workout in my life. Just getting back to running this year and trying to get fit....maybe my 25th run of the yr. Splits started a little faster, I definitely got tired and need to stay focused on the pacing. The track at Hasbrouck Heights NJ isn't leveled and for 100 m to finish the first 200 m it's slightly uphill and then the turn is crazy...even higher...before leveling for the last 100m..or it's slightly downhill. So, I won't be doing repeats at this track again.

Splits:1:22,1:23,1:26,1:27, 1:29, 1:31, 1:28, 1:34, 1:31,1:30, 1:30,1:32,1:32,1:30,1:28,1:24
