In March 2005, I decided to quit my pack-a-day smoking lifestyle. I started running as a method to distract myself from the nicotine withdrawal. One mile at a time and three years later, I have finished 3 marathons and also completed a handful of triathlons ranging from the sprint distance to a half ironman.

This is a video of me competing in the ironman Lake Placid on July 20th 2008 (less info)
