I'm a nerd. An engineer with a high-stress gig at a high-stress company and a wheezy case of asthma, with no athletic background whatsoever. I never played any sports, unless you count playing deep, deep right field for whatever god-forsaken team my friends or coworkers coerce me to playing for, and I'd be a lot happier if I could bring my beer to the outfield. I'm sedentary. I'm a foodie. I'm a couch potato.
And in January, I will be running a half-marathon here in Houston.
