So this morning I took a shot at becoming a brand ambassador for Altra. I was a fairly easy application with lots of questions as to why you want to become a Ambassador for their brand.

I kept it simple with links to my blog and Vlog and explained to them that since I am the average Joe I felt more people could relate to me and see that anything is possible given the right mind set no matter what the age. I some how feel like turning 42 is heading off the back side of the mountain if you know what I mean.

I am not sure of the benefits you receive from them if accepted but I would love to score some good running swag from them and maybe if I knock this out of the park become a feature story some day. I would like to believe that big companies like Altra still take a chance on the little guy like me.

Well I do need to get a run in this morning and this week I will discover the challenges of training and traveling. We will be heading down to my sisters in Chattanooga. She also has me signed up to do a 10k Saturday so that should be interesting as it is my first “race” in quite some time. My sister and brother in law are both running it with me but my worry is neither of them have been doing any training of sorts so we will see that outcome. No matter what I am looking forward to sharing this experience with them. One other note is I got confirmation that my best friend Larry and his wife Kelly will be coming to Columbus in April of next year to run the Cap City Half Marathon with Lindsay and I! I have ran this once and it was my only half and I was just under 2 hours at 1:58. So my goal at this moment is to beat that time. Till the next post!

Best~
