So what does one write here to make themselves sound as interesting as they really are?

Lets give it a try. I grew up in the mid-west and moved to Arizona about 7 years ago. I moved here to experience things that I couldn't in Minnesota. I love it here.

I am a big guy but like to do alot of active things. I started doing triathlons back in May as a way of keeping me focused to work out. I have lost about 50 lbs since january. Now there is a break in events until the PF Chang in January. I like do do the events. In June I started attending church and its been a big part of my life since then.

I would like to find someone that likes to do active things too, but also knows when its time to kick back and relax. You don't need to workout with me or do the same events. But someone that shares the same passion for trying to live a healthier and more athletic lifestyle is where I am at. Sure I like to sit back and enjoy relaxing, but there is a difference between relaxing and couch potato.

I would like to find someone to try new places with, go out to lunch with, or just do those weekend trips with. But the most important is they have to be able to carry on a conversation. I am 34, not into drinking everynight or nightclubs every weekend. Every now and then is good enough. I ran through that stuff in my college days. I wouldn't mind finding someone that likes to do some of my interests with like hiking, biking, swimming or running. But also the more relaxing things like trying new places and just sight seeing.

If you have a question, feel free to ask. And yes my dog is small, my theory, little dog, little $hit!

Some other stats:
-I love to bbq
-I own my own business (5 years and running)
-I don't smoke, never been married, and have no kids
-My dog runs the house. (Its Bears house, I just live there)

I usually like to go someplace where you have time to talk and get to now each other. Something like a coffee shop, happy hour, walk around the zoo, little sandwich shop. But first dates are different then first meetings. Dates are usually alittle longer.
