the_arkitect

Wow, more than 500 profile views! So i thought i better elaborate on the one liner i previously had here! I'm 26, stuck in the doldrums of the sometimes slow and monotoic world of obscure academia... In my free time i love sports, particularly distance running (www.letsrun.com). I am working towards a qualification in personal training. I have a soft spot for alternative medicines and believe in proactive self health care.
