I am a runner. I'm competitive, but I can control it. I love to try new and exciting things. I love to be outside, running, biking, hiking, swimming, and the like. Currently I study microbiology and nutrition--yes, I'm an old undergraduate--I'm finishing up in May 2007. When I'm done I hope to be able to travel again. I'm really here to find people my own age to hang out with. I'm not interested in dating, I'm in a wonderful relationship.

I'd like to meet people who are interesting and fun. People who like wine and food, and can hold a conversation with out using the word "like" every other word. I'm really looking to meet some girls my age so we can hang out and just have fun.
