Now when my lungs feel like they are going to explode during a climg or sprint, instead of sitting up I stand up and push another hundred yards...of course with my genetic lack of speed that probably takes me a lot longer than it would you. Before I end up sounding like a cliche of an inspirational speaker... Jim Penseyres finished RAAM three times. Dexter Benjamin..well just watch the video. These guys are the guys that have re-inspired me.

As for a picture of the whole me. Ironically as much attention as draw to myself with a flame encrusted prosthetic, I tend to avoid cameras as I don't feel really comfortable with how the rest of me looks. We all have our foibles.
