One hundred and thirty some back

One hundred and thirty some races back, I fell in love with running. I registered for my first marathon (2007 Marine Corps Marathon), curious to run one after reading a article on Dean Karnazes. At the time, he was doing the fifty marathons in fifty different states, and I figured why not do one, since he is doing fifty. I fell in love with the environment, while training. After my first few races I was addicted, and it also got me away from base (Henderson Hall) Arlington,VA. That's how it all began for me, and still running strong.

Memories of Henderson Hall

There use to be a old guy, that hung out at the MCCS Henderson Hall gym, when i was stationed in Virginia. He use to tell me how bad running was, and try to kill my drive to be better. I can never forget those times, lol. Not sure if he worked out, but he sure talked my head off when I showed up. It never brought me down, cause he was very out of shape looking.
