My Information
Name: Kent Altena
Favorite Runs: Long
Years Running: 2
Age/Gender: 35, Male
Location: IA, US
Date Joined: 9/28/2007
I am the average Clydesdale runner, which is an achievement for this former 420-pound couch potato. I live in Polk City, suburb of Des Moines, and run about 5-7 times/week. My biggest achievement of '07 was beating my HM PR by 7 minutes at the Sioux Falls Marathon in September where I ran 1:42:38.
In my real life, I am network engineer for a local insurance company and a volunteer EMS/fireman (still in my probationary period). I joined the fire department after my wife said I couldn't reenlist in the Iowa National Guard any longer. Outside of running, working, and going on calls -- not necessarily in that order, I am husband and dad to a wonderful family, who are quite patient with my periods of Saturday morning long runs or sweatiness. :-)
* Des Moines Half Marathon
* Muddy Monster (Cedar Rapids)
* Living History Farms
* then a well-deserved month of rest...
I do not have any running logs yet.
