I’m a 29 year old guy living in the south where everything you can eat is deep fried and every place you go is so spread out that you drive.  No surprise that Mississippi is the fattest state in the nation.

I’ve been overweight and non-athletic my entire life.  I decided in January 2009 that I wanted to run a 5K.  I met that goal, worked up to a half marathon, then a sprint triathlon, and now I’m training for my first marathon.  I started at about 225 pounds and am working on bringing that number down.  Check out my progress on my Goals page.
