A Passion for Running
Anyone who knows Mike, knows about his passion for running, which started at the age of 48. Now 80, he has run a half marathon in all continents, including Antarctica.
Michael often works from home and lives a healthy, self-disciplined lifestyle. He starts his day with a morning run and often incorporates a work-out at the gym even on the days when he works from the office. He believes in eating well, getting plenty of rest, and never consuming alcohol. His interest in long-distance running began at age 48 and he began a vigorous marathon training regimen. The intensity of his training led him to qualify to run in five major races on five different continents.
Over his athletic career, Michael has completed 15 marathons often placing in the top three and taking the award podium. He continues to train daily and is looking to schedule his next half marathon.
