My Story

Hi my name's Brian and I started out running about 11 years ago, at first I couldn't run for more than a couple of minutes at a time before I was exhausted.

I eventually got hold of a training program and started to follow it.

A couple of weeks later I ran my first 5k and managed to run all the way without walking. That was it, I was hooked.

I enjoyed running so much that my wife joined me. Running became a way of life for us and after a few weeks our weight stabilized, we found we had more energy and enjoyed a much better quality of life.

Because of this healthier lifestyle our children have now also become active.

Since then we have run over `10 000 kilometers together. We have run races over all distances and our most recent achievement is completing the comrades marathon , a grueling race over 89 kilometers climbing 5 big hills.

I am just your normal guy next door with no outstanding athletic ability and generally run in the middle of the pack.The chances of me ever winning a race are zero, however

Running is all about personal achievement and not much beats the first time you cross the finish line in the time you have set for yourself.

By now you have probably realized that I am quite passionate about running

So I decided I would start a web site about running, and I did.I searched the internet for a cheap site hosting company, there were hundreds to choose from so I chose one and started.

What a disaster, and that's putting it mildly. If you are like me with limited computer skills it's almost impossible to get a site up and running with one of these companies.

After many useless and frustrating attempts I found SBI, and so my site began. Read on to see how Site Build It made it possible for me to earn an income from something I Enjoy.
