I was sitting at lunch at the Cheesecake Factory with a vendor who was saying he was training for the SLC Marathon. The next thing I know my co-workers were all on the running bandwagon and I just followed along. So peer pressure got me running and now I love it too much
to stop.
I have two boys (18,13) and two girls (12,9) who will occasionally run with me. My wife is very supportive and appreciates the times when we talk about other non-running things.
