About the Author
Robert James Reese is originally from Colorado, but calls East Harlem NYC home now. He's the owner of a small web development company in New York City. Back in 2005, he graduated from the University of Colorado with a degree in English Literature.
Robert first started running back in high school because his boxing coach told him he had to get in his roadwork. A couple Bolder Boulders later and it seemed as though he was hooked; running had become as important as the boxing that spawned it. But a failed marathon attempt in late 2001 led to a 6 year hiatus from any type of serious training. Then, in early 2008, he finally returned to the roads.
So far, he's finished thirteen marathons and one ultra. Among the marathons was a 9th place overall finish in Delaware (which earned him a really cool bobble-head trophy) and a 2:53:57 in Boston. He won a 5K in Brooklyn once, but it was a very small race (like 100 runners) so it doesn't really count.
You can find more information about his non-running life on his personal website.
