Michael's Bio

I'm a consulting water resources engineer with my own company of 18 engineers and geologists. I'm a lifetime runner of 36 years (I'm 48 and have run since I was 13). I currently run about 3-4 times weekly, totaling about 15-20 miles per week. The longest race I have previously run is a half marathon. My son Andy is a Junior in the School of Engineering at Tufts.

Sorry I've taken so long to take care of business with this. I really was inspired by your initial email. And I am now in training for writing checks to universities.

Good Luck Mike. The Vegas odds are only 200 to 1 against you finishing but 5 to 1 in favor of you crying like a school girl at mile marker 20

Mike, if we sponsor the run, can we share in the life insurance proceeds??? At least you won't be running at 5000 feet! Your concerned friends, Reese, Diane and Wood

Hi all,

The response to my request for donations has been great so far!  You guys are awesome.  My training is going well.  I'm running 10 milers every Saturday and 5-6 miles on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.  I keep feeling better each week.  Maybe its that I'm in a constant state of pain so I don't notice it, or maybe getting out more actually keeps me looser and makes it easier.  Hopefully the cold weather will not be a problem.  It was a bit of a shock to go from bed to 10 miles at 7:30 this morning and at 25 degrees outside.  I thought Saturdays were for sleeping in.  Oh well.

Mike
