Meet the team: Howard


Howard likes adventures...and the MC200 would qualify as one more adventure to be added to his list...

Howard had a career change that also included a diet change four years ago. Running became a natural byproduct of this healthier lifestyle and he hasn't looked back since. With three marathons under his belt - the MC200 seemed like a "natural next-step" adventure.

He is on track for hitting his current life-running goal of running a marathon a year and as of 2009 he's added running an ultra event every year as a goal as well, (which may change once we arrive in Chicago tomorrow) (!).

Running requires accountibility, training and running w the team takes discipline and accountability and Howard sees the direct correlation with spiritual growth. Accountability and discipline are required for that as well. Howard is blessed with a supportive wife and family that encourages him in what can sometimes be a time consuming sport.

Gears and Gadgets: the Garmin watch gives Howard great insights - and holds him accountable to his mileage...he can't cheat on his miles! Howard runs rotation three - a total of almost 38 miles...the longest total distance of any member on the team. WE are all glad to have the Udo's Oil (Oil the machine!) pusher on the team - an amazing product. Enjoy those 38 miles Howard!
