I'm a retired banker. I did duathlons until about 7-8 years ago, but stopped for the reasons I discuss below under "Goals and Results". I'm a horrible swimmer, so I gave up triathlons in about 1995. My son did the half marathon at the Des Moines Marathon on 10/21/07. When I found out that he was training for that race, I knew I wanted to start up again.

I had not biked or run seriously for some time due to a heart arrythmia problem that had kept me from doing more than walking or brief jogging. I had a recent (10/07) pacemaker implant, so my heart now pumps fast enough to support my running. I'm up to 4-5 miles and I'm looking forward to the spring 5K races.

I do not have any running logs yet.

I don't have any widgets or badges yet.
