gain Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Hi!While I have not been a regular gamer in years, the worlds and stories that I have left behind have left an indelible mark on my soul, and the ethos that drives the gaming community abides healthily in myself. I seldom pass up the opportunity to listen to/experience a new story, and have made it a passion to embark on adventures, many times for the purposes of self-improvement, and most of the time to create valuable memories and indulge in new experiences.Running, while a recent passion, has quickly become one of my strongest. I am currently training for my first Marathon. I enjoy and take advantage of any opportunity to talk about fitness, running, and motivation, as I have a lot to learn and always want to get better! It would be great to run regularly for the rest of my life, and even one day complete an ironman competition! (I have flirted and tinkered with a five year plan). This community seems like it is a great resource for anyone with similar goals and ambitions.When I am not running, I will cross train by biking, lifting, and martial arts (I am a sho dan in Shotokan karate under Sensei Masakazu Takahashi). My weakness is swimming, which I hope to improve.Please do not hesitate to talk to me about everything or anything, as I may just do so myself.I am looking forward to what this community has to offer, and hope that I can give back as much, if not more.

RandomWanderer Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 How did the scouts not nab you??? LOL.. I run, I swim, I do Kung Fu, and of course parkour and body weight. If I wasn't insanely addicted to the Assassin's Creed concept I may of picked scout/Ranger, but I love parkour and bodyweight training as much as running, so it had to be Assassin.
