I'm an avid runner, focusing on longer distances like the marathon. I also enjoy being out on the trails, walking my dog, and making beer. And I'm a data nerd.

I am the 1968 Boston Marathon winner, former editor of Runner's World Magazine, book author, and editor of the weekly newsletter, "Run Long, Run Healthy."

BA in English, sports science student, long distance runner

I do technology studies, co-organize @The_Maintainers, and profess Science, Technology, and Society at Virginia Tech.
