I’m not a gifted athlete (and have always struggled with team sports) but I like to stay physically active, and I love spending time outdoors. Here are some of the athletic activities I’ve been most active in:
I mostly run for fitness, but have done a few races too. My personal best times are marathon: 3:02:56, half: 1:28:15.
Combining my love of walking with my love of the outdoors. Mostly day hikes, with some overnight treks.
Pitcher / 2nd base for the Oslo Pretenders P2 team. Won the team batting award in 2019 and team MVP in 2021.
Mostly transportation / urban cycling on single-speed or fixed-gear, but I’ve gone on some long rides for fun.
I never set foot in a pair of skis before moving to Norway. My cross-country skills are still bad, but getting better.
I’m convinced that everyone’s lives would be better if they got out and walked more. I walk somewhere every day.
I earned a black belt in karate in 1999 and have dabbled in other forms since then, but am very out of practice.
Combat training was simultaneously the best and worst part of my enlistment in the U.S. Army band.
