Running Accomplishments:

35 Marathons, ultras and triathlons including the Hawaii Ironman.  I started running for fitness in 1968 and I ran my first road race, the Virginia 10 Miler in 1977.  Currently in the process of running 25 consecutive Marine Corps Marathons and marathons in 50 states.  My athletic endeavors are focused on raising funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and inspiring others to pursue healthy lifestyles.

Short-Term Running Goals:

My short term goal is to qualify for the Boston Marathon this Fall, raise $5K for St. Jude Children's Hospital and to cure my plantar faciatis.  I plan to run the Marine Corps Marathon in October '08, the St. Jude Memphis Marathon in Dec '08, the Catalina Island Marathon in Mar '09, the Boston Marathon in Apr '09, and the Wildflower Triathlon in May '09.  

Long-Term Running Goals:

Run marathons into my 80's.  Complete a marathon or ultra in all 50 states and all the continents.  I would like to inspire other runners to achieve beyond their dreams.  

Personal:

My running world headquarters is located on a small avocado ranch in Fallbrook, California, USA:  Rancho Tres Palmes.  I am a retired U.S. Marine with a wife and 5 children ranging in age from 21 to 2.  I have lived all over the world and speak several languages.  Running has been a great way to meet people from different countries and all walks of life.  Currently, I am the President of the Fallbrook Running and Walking Club and the Washington, DC Roadrunners SLR Group and the Camp Pendleton, CA Triathlon Club.
