High School Accomplishments
2 time State Qualifier Cross Country
2 mile State Track Qualifier
College Accomplishments
Three time team cross country conference champions
Individually All-Conference ( 4th Place ) in cross country
Short Term Goals
See how far under 17:00 I can get my 5K time.
Run a sub 1:20:00 half-marathon in Spring of 2007.
Provide encouraging supportive mentoring to my daughter, Abby, as she runs the 2 mile this Spring.
Long Term Goals
Balance smart training with a smart racing schedule to get all I can out of my potential. Help my daughter develop her running abilities and help our local high schoolers with off-season training.
Mark, while training with his daughter Abby, has been racing at a very high level since joining the racing team. He recently won the Spirit of St. Louis Half Marathon Master's Division and finished well at the St. Patrick's Day Parade Run. Look for Mark this summer on the Master's circuit.
FUN STUFF:
Favorite Movie: Any of the Borne series – small town Missouri kid takes on the world and “When Harry Met Sally” gotta love that lunch scene.
Favorite Place to Train: San Luis Obispo, CA. Perfect weather year around. Your choice of the beach or mountain foothills, all from your back door.
Favorite Breakfast Cereal: Bite size Frosted Mini-Wheats – they're like runners, small in stature, healthy on one side, & sweet on the other.
List the most played song on your iPOD/Radio: Depends upon the mood, but U2 has always got something for me. Luckily I'm heavily influenced by my high schooler so that helps me keep it fresh.
Who's better Superman or Batman: Superman? He alone protects us all. Batman relies too heavily on Robin, his underpaid and unappreciated side kick. Besides, anyone living in a cave is just a bad day away from becoming the next Uni-bomber. I don't trust him!
Fact or Fiction, the 80's rocked: Indisputable fact. Even today we are obsessed with the 80's music, fashion, politics, icons …
Interesting Fact about me: I love riding my motorcycle – 0-60 MPH in 3 seconds is an addictive rush and yes I know it is dangerous. Also, my great uncle was the artist that created the Arm and Hammer symbol on the baking soda box. I, however, am missing that artist gene.
