Well here are just a few things about the race I'll probably have more later. Well before the race on Facebook I had talked to Kami Semick and she had just planned to run in the 3:40's and siad we'll probably be running together. So having no idea what she looked like I thought she was one of the ladies behind me running right on 3:40 pace I was going a little faster at the beginning.

Kanpei is a 59 yr old Japanese comedian and ultramarathon runner, who set off last year to run and sail around the world. He's currently stuck in bad weather in the middle of the… Continue

It is mine, my Dad's and my 2 uncles expectations that I can run in the 3:40'… Continue

A year ago, I had never even heard of an ultramarathon. While deployed to Iraq, a friend of mine introduced me to the idea and I thought he was nuts. Well, to be honest, from the moment I heard about it, I knew it was something I had to do! It really wasn't an option, it just had to be done. Fortunately, I was going to be in Iraq for a while so I had plenty of time to train. My unit returned to San Antonio on December 9, 2008 and I knew Rocky Raccoon was just 2 short months away. Because of the… Continue
