Fell I have been running since 1997, and since that time I've completed 32 ultras (including 5x 100 milers), and 16 marathons. My 24 Hour PR is 132 miles, and my 100 mile PR is sub 16 hours. For most of my life I avoided exercise due to a genetic skin condition [[Epidermolysis Bullosa]]. As a result, I eventually gained enough weight to inspire me to start running.I have been a software engineer by profession since 1984 and my other hobbies are photography, backpacking, reading and Home Theater. I was born in Bedford, England and moved to the US in 2000, becoming a US citizen in 2009. http://jfsavage.smugmug.com/photos/917620190_Brcvm-M.jpg  I chose the nom de plume 'fellrnr' for several reasons. Firstly, 'fell running' is the English term for trail running. It comes from old Norse Fjell, meaning hill. However, 'fell' also means 'Of an inhumanly cruel nature; fierce'. More mundanely it means to one who has taken a fall. This ambiguity appeals to me.
