In 4th grade, when I first learned about the Chaski runners that ran long distances to carry communications within the Incan empire, I marveled at their ability to run 50 miles or more in the mountains.  I can still remember staring at the pictures in my social studies book, wondering how it was possible.

Since that time, I've been drawn to endurance events and strive to set challenging physical goals and to meet them.  This website is dedicated to my modest efforts to explore my own limits.
