1about

Welcome aboard!  My name is Kyle Paul Johnson and I'm a web developer, pseudo designer, fitness enthusiast and amateur photographer living and working in Seattle Washington. I work for a company called Prep Sportswear on a small development team to build a platform that generates and sells highly customized apparel for schools, teams, government and much more.

I am a quiet guy at first, but that's definitely not once I get comfortable with people.  I love spending time with friends and family, talking tech, and snapping photos.  I have become a lover of pretty much all things outdoors since moving to the Pacific Northwest.  Keeping in shape, hiking/backpacking and riding my bike, bouldering, running are all things I enjoy.   I am a Seattle transplant, as it seems everyone here is.  I grew up in the great plains of the Midwest in a village of about 700 people.

Training Begins Today

3/25/2013 12:42:13 PM

Now that i have registered myself for more running and biking events than perhaps I should have, the training officially begins today.

I am now officially registered for the Seattle To Portland ride, Seattle Rock n’ Roll Half Marathon, Color Vibe 5k, and Beat the Bridge 8k.  All of this happens in a span of 2 months.  The good news is my girlfriend Christina is on board now for two of them.  

Plan at this point is to start back on the eating plan a little better.  Been a bit lax in that since getting back from Hawaii.  Also to start logging fitness and nutritional elements.

Biked into work this morning, biking home this evening followed by the first run in a long time.  Looking forward to it!

Training officially underway today.
