I am boring. No, really. If you don’t believe me, check out my
100 things post. If that isn’t a bowl full of boring, I don’t know what is.
Fortunately for you, I’m into sharing, so you’re going to get the whole story – or the herps. Either way, you’re going to itch after this. My name is Adam and I am a part time blogger, most of the time runner, and full time husband, who travels full time for work all the while having a quarter life crisis. I grew up on a small farm in northwest Iowa. I went to Iowa State for computer science and have been working hard for the money ever sense. Somewhere in there, I also got married to my wife (as opposed to getting married to people who are NOT my wife) and moved to Phoenix!
Note my blog URL is adamrisu. That stands for Adam (my name) R (my last initial) ISU (Iowa State Univ). Confusing, yes. Will I ever change it? Maybe – I’m REALLY lazy. I originally started this blog when
one of my best friends, Nick, mentioned that he was going to start one as well. Since I am never one to come up with independent thoughts, I decided during an overnight telephony server migration (did I mention I’m a dork too?) that I’d start one up - lest the digital revolution pass me by. That was October 26th of 2007. The blog started out to be a collection of my thoughts on being a traveling management consultant, but it has morphed into what it is today:
So, as you can see, when I am not getting my butterscotch ripple drink on, I’m running. I started running in 2007 after my FIRST physical at age 25 said that I had high blood pressure. Bummer. Since I like to dive in head first, I shortly there after started training for my first marathon and never looked back. In fact, my first ever road race was the Kansas City Marathon in 2007. 5 marathons later, I’m still chugging away – if not without some struggles to make things interesting.
So, that is it. Huh, I thought that it would take me longer to give my life’s story. I suppose that my True Hollywood Story will probably need to be shared with someone else who is a little more interesting – maybe Madonna. So, to pad this page a bit more and put in some filler, I leave you with this:
Remember, the funny thing about life is that if you worry too much about the destination, you will miss the journey. Remember, we all end up in the same place….Unless you are cremated, then you end up on the mantle in a Folgers coffee can.
