Gary's Personal info: Male  Age: 36

I ran competitively when i was younger for many years. I quit cold turkey after college and put on a lot of weight. At the age of 35 (June 17th, 2009) i decided it was time to do something, but i couldn't run because i was too damn fat and it hurt. So i started eating better and working out (P90X). After 90 days i was in semi-shape again and ran a 5K (Aug. 2009) and was 4th in my age group. I got that feeling of wanting to place again in my age group. So i started running a bit more and placed in my age group in my second 5K in Oct 2009. I then took the fall/winter off from running and continued to simply eat right and do p90x. March 5th 2010: I Began running seriously with a quasi plan. My goal was simple: "Run with guts" in 10 races by the end of the year. I am on track to do just that. I have met a lot of new people who are working hard and trying to challenge themselves. This has been the most rewarding part of all of this.
