This is a picture of my that was taken while I was still running for Kent. I believe it is at the 1994 Kent Open. I never was very fond of Cross Country, espically when our coach decided he wanted to put these hay bails out on the course. He said it made it more European like. I just think it was plain horrible! - haybail.jpg

usaf3.jpg: This is a picture at the finish line. You know what pisses my off? Because of the damn champion chip, that guy beat me by 15 seconds. Isn't that screwed up? Oh well, i was extreamly happy with that time for my first marathon. I ran it very easy in the begining, so it didn't really hurt that bad.
