Looking forward to this year's running of the Vermont City Marathon. I have lead pace teams at VCM in the past and thoroughly enjoy this event. Then again, marathons are one of my favorite sporting endeavors. My fastest marathon time was 2:34 in 2008 for Boston. While not necessarily aiming for a PR, I was able to come close with winning the Male Master's class at VCM last year. Whether it's running or participating in triathlons, I enjoy the training beforehand and the celebratory post party. When I'm not training or racing, I spend my time my wife and kids at the lake or on trails, skiing, biking, hiking, swimming, and playing! I currently live in Bristol, Vermont and work as a nurse practitioner in adult primary care in Brandon, VT. See you all soon! Happy Spring.
