1st step

Being my first attempt at blogging ...let me take my FIRST STEP and let you know a little bit about "the OLD FAT GUY"....my name is Jeff  and /or JC...I live near Elkton,Va, a small town in the Shenandoah Valley.  I'm in the late stages of 49 years old and have been running for 25 plus years. I'm currently engaged to a little "spitfire" of a girl from Buena Vista we'll call Janet. (love ya babe!)
I've been employed by the same company for 30 years and just paid off my house.
I  am a member of  the Shenandoah Valley runners Club, the Charlottesville track club, and the Shenandoah Valley Track club for which I'm on the board of directors. I host and direct the "Rockingham Pike 5 Miler' and the "Freeze your Snowballs Off 10k" 
As for my running.. I'm a mid pack runner with about 400 races under my belt. I've done every distance from 5k to half marathon...a full marathon to come!  I've also done about 50 duathlons  and  a handfull of bike tours.
My mileage has really flucuated over the last few years  due to some injuries,  work schedule and motivation.
Hopefully with the start of a "new age group" in a couple months I'll find  that new drive. With the help of my friends and you readers I'll push for new goals and strive to be a better runner and person.
Well that's it for now  ...I don't want to bore eveyone the 1st time out.
For now Happy Runnin'
the Old Fat Guy
