About me

Location Bay Area, CA, United States
Introduction I ran Cross Country and Track in high school. I was never very fast, but still, my coach and teammates cheered for me and believed in me. My team was my second family. After high school, I practiced Martial Arts for 10 years, dabbling in Tae Kwon Do, Kickboxing, Judo, Kendo, Tai Chi, and Jujitsu (5 years). I practiced many styles, but really mastered none (no black belts for me). In 2004, I started playing tennis, and played ~6 times a week, until the running bug bit me in 2009. And so now I play tennis less, and run more. If you haven't already read it, read "Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall. It is inspirational and motivational. It awakened my love for running, and it might do the same for you. I am also a proud father of two beautiful daughters.
