Allow to me to lay out a road map of how I got to where I find myself today:

Running has been something I have enjoyed for a long time. It's only been about a year that I have been increasing the miles and loving it. I completed my first marathon back in November 2010 at the Rock 'n Roll San Antonio Marathon. With the completion of my first one, the wheels started turning and planning what next. Having a marathon under my belt led me to consider bigger and better things. It has always been my intent to use running as a vehicle to incorporate and promote another passion of mine, helping people. Similar to the intentions and accomplishments of Ryan Hall, one of my personal inspirations, it is my intention to raise money for his charity, the Hall Steps Foundation.
