Just a regular guy that loves to run. Keeps me fit and sane. I'm a RRCA Certified Running Coach and I'm working on my certifications in personal training and nutrition consultation. I've run for over 20 years--more seriously the past 8 or so. Love distance running, especially marathons. I've run several marathons all over the country from Richmond to Baltimore to San Francisco to Honolulu. Need that annual goal to keep me motivated. Hope my blog-RunnerDude's Blog- (http://ncrunnerdude.blogspot.com) will motivate you and look forward to your comments motivating me. Happy Running!
