Today, I embark on a series of flights that in 26 hours will find me living and working in Saudi Arabia. I'm looking forward to the opportunity and will post about living, working and yes running, and training for marathons and triathlons in the hot conditions.
A little about me; I'm 44-years old and a retired U.S. Coast Guardsman, having served 21-years as a Public Affairs Specialist. I took up running about 11 years ago, when I needed to do something to maintain my fitness while balancing my schedule. Running seemed like the thing to do; I struggled on my very first 3-mile run and nearly stopped. In stead, I entered a 5K, then a half marathon and another, and another...eventually tackling my first marathon 13 months after running my first 5K.
I enjoy running, working out and eventually aim to do a triathlon. I've worked in a local running store, forming runner's groups in my workplace and paced friends toward achieving their goal of completing a race.
I'm looking forward to this adventure.
