Though he once loathed the idea of running, Mike picked up jogging as a way to help lose weight in 2007. In 2012 he ran his first half marathon (the Arizona Distance Classic in Tucson, AZ) at an 8:36 pace. His PR came in August of 2019 at the Madison Mini Marathon where he finished at an 8:31 pace. Mike is currently training for a full marathon - as long as his body will let him do it.
