I'm feeling pretty good! I ran 6.87 miles at 11:31 up The Great Highway to Lake Merced. I took a shot of apple pie flavored energy gel at the 4 mile mark and felt like a superhero! I am Endorphin Dude, see me run!

On April Fool's Day I thought I was having a heart attack. No joke. I knew I had to make some changes in my life, so I took my dog for a walk around the block. That short walk turned into two blocks, then three, and before I knew it, I was walking 4-5 miles. This lead to a jog, and then a run. That run ultimately lead to a marathon. Bottom line, I got healthy and took control of my life. This blog chronicles my journey. When I run, I feel like a super hero. I AM ENDORPHIN DUDE, SEE ME RUN!
