Why I decided to be a coach this year: I can finally give solicited advice.
Running History: I've been running marathons since 1995 and have been a member of the DCRRC since 2001. During that first year of joining the club, I improved my marathon time by 24 minutes and qualified for Boston. Since then, I've qualified an additional six times. Aside from qualifying, I'm proud of the fact that I've made it to the start well-prepared for each of the 30+ marathons I've registered for. I hope I didn't just jinx myself.
Motivation: I'm not sure what motivates me, but I'm always surprised by how much I've improved at the various distances. I also love doing destination races and seeing new places.
Tips: Don't be afraid to rest after a training race.
Preferred Running Fuel: Peanut Butter Power Bars, Espresso-Flavored GU, and Tums.
Hometown: Ft. Lauderdale, Florida via New Jersey
Occupation: Paralegal
Random Fact: According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the guy with the bushiest eyebrows lives in the D.C. area.
