The Beginning

I will be describing my journey of juggling a new baby girl, a promotion, and preparing for the Charlottesville marathon on April 19th, 2009.

On December 23rd, 2008 my wife gave birth to our daughter Gabriella. The last two weeks seem to be only a few hours passed. I believe a little sleep deprivation is to blame for that along with having a few days off from work. I help manage a sporting apparel and accessory shop in Knoxville, TN by the name of Sport Seasons. I am hoping to be managing it very soon.

I took up running last spring in an attempt to rediscover my passion for sport. I grew up playing football, basketball, baseball, golf, and a little tennis. I haven't grouped myself with enough people to play the team sports and golf has just become to expensive to play regularly. I used to be an athlete, I used to proud of my level of fitness and being able to outrun everybody in my class. When all of this hit me last spring I took up running. An inexpensive activity that can be very rewarding even if one plays alone.

The more I type the more you'll see what running means to me. I am relatively inexperienced but I have high aspirations. Wish me luck.
