Every year, the sun sets on the old year, heralding the dawn of a new morning, new year, new era, and new life. As 2013 is still young, it's a tremendous opportunity to make resolutions that put us in a position to take charge of our life and conquer new challenges.
As a competitive athlete and outdoor enthusiast, I'm consistently pursuing new challenges and seeking new ways to push my own personal limits in the outdoor arena. Which is why I'm excited to be part of the Altra Zero Drop Ambassador program for 2013. Altra has recruited some amazing athletes to help represent the brand, and I'm honored to be listed alongside my fellow Ambassadors.
Most of my life has been spent living in a more chlorinated fashion. My college years were spent playing DI water polo in Southern California. My love and passion for that sport presented me with incredible opportunities which included being invited to try-out for the US National Team and even play professionally in Australia.
In recent years I've started to fulfill my desire for competition through running. It's become a vital part of my training routine, with each passing day it becomes a more entrenched part of my life. As a husband and father of three little tikes, I understand the trials and tribulations that come along with crafting a busy training and run schedule to fit around a family calendar complete with soccer, karate, gymnastics and everything else. And perhaps above all else, these are some of the reasons that I'm most excited about being a part of the Altra Ambassador program.
As a company rapidly establishing themselves as an innovative pioneer in the naturalist running movement, Altra Footwear has designed a line-up of running shoes that mimic the natural shape and heel-to-toe ratio of the foot thereby allowing the body to run more naturally, more efficiently. Altra shoes have literally changed my experience as a runner.
At this point it's important to note that I don't run because I love the feeling of running. I run because it makes me love the feeling of living. And that I do everyday, one mile at a time. In the year ahead I look forward to sharing my experiences as an Altra Ambassador... follow along with me and we'll work together to leave our safe harbors, set new goals and conquer new challenges.
