My name's Michael and I'm a 23 year old student ready to graduate in a few weeks with an Accounting degree.  I picked up competive running about 3 1/2 years ago and I can't think of anything I 'd rather do.  My goal is to move to Portland after graduation and work for Nike.  I also really want to train with the Bowerman Athletic Club (BAC) and see how fast I can run.

I'll return to the steeplechase again this spring with the goal of breaking 9:00.  The marathon is where I see myself over the next several years but I really want to see what I can do in the steeplechase before making the full transition.  I did run the Chicago Marathon this fall (2:40:34) and I got to see what "the wall" was all about.

Long term, look for me on the trails as a ultrarunner.

There is more to me than just a runner, but that will have to have to post on another day.
