One way to do an infobox

HARTLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Here is a possible info box … Below is what I used to run at the end of blog posts I did about running for the The Flint Journal and the HTML code is on the jump. If you'd like to use, copy the HTML, and paste in your HTML editor, customizing your information.

Really, this is a healthy obsession …


About Christofer Machniak's running hobby

Age: 34

Occupation: Lecturer at Eastern Michigan University and the University of Michigan-Flint

Running background: One year of cross country at Livonia Churchill High School in the fall of 1991 (had a crush on a girl, found out I loved running instead). Got hurt in 1992 and quit running while adding "The Freshman 15" every year in college at Michigan State University (Go Spartans!).

Running highlights: Losing about 90 pounds after not really running for about eight years/winning 14 road races in Michigan (all small field events)/completing 16 marathons (including one during an Ironman triathlon in 2004 -- yeah, it was tough, but it was worth it).

Personal records: 16:46 (5K in 2003), 35:25 (10K in 2004), 58:42 (10M in 2004 at the Crim), 1:16:09 (half marathon in 2004), 2:49:03 (marathon in 2003) -- looks like my better days could be behind me (hope not).
