Howard Choi

Howard starting jogging six years ago to lose weight (~35 lbs / 16 kg lost). He now runs so that he can continue eating what he wants without too much worry. He is a member of the New York Flyers running club and his running goals are marathons/ultras in each of the 50 states of the USA (25 finished so far) and on each of the 7 continents (2 so far: N. America and Antarctica). He has finished ultramarathons up to 100 miles. He spent much of 2013 sidelined with injuries, but is looking forward to getting back fully to long distance running in 2014. His next challenges this summer after the North Pole Marathon are Comrades Marathon, Gold Coast Marathon (Australia), Laugavegur Ultra Marathon (Iceland) and his first full Ironman triathlon (Louisville, KY) in August 2014. He is also a hiker and has summited Mount Kilimanjaro.
