Hi I am Rachael’s Daddy. I am an R&D chemist from Virginia (Tech) but I have been landed in the Greater Cleveland Ohio area. I used to run competitively in high school till an injury to my hips sidelined me for several years. Lately I have had to overcome a nasty smoking habit and found that my love for running has never subsided. A couple years ago I started off on a treadmill and worked my way outside to a small 2 mile race. I have not looked back since. In those years I have kept running through several half marathons and my first two marathons the Cleveland and Marine Marathons. Of course I have a wonderful daughter Rachael who is showing some interest in running as well.
Any how, I found that my running is a time for training and concentration but since that fails to occupy my mind I tend to wander were ever the mind may go. It is kind of awesome and one of my favorite things about running but not the only favorite. Eitherway, that is me and Go Hokies.
you inspired me to take a second shot at blogging:
