He and his wife are now on year two in Hong Kong with their rescue dog, Leo.

Quotes by Michael Currinder (?)

“Running is nothing but leaning forward, eyes and nose over your shoelaces, just letting gravity do the work. Racing is nothing but running full tilt, leaning a little farther forward, and moving your legs fast enough that you don’t frickin’ fall down. It’s a balance between running with reckless abandon and staying in control. If you find that balance, you feel like you’re flying.”
― Michael Currinder, Running Full Tilt

“Nobody’s perfect, Leo,” Dad told me, holding me a few more seconds. “Trust me on that, son. But you made Caleb a better person, and he made you a better person. That’s what brothers are supposed to do,” he said as he let go, straightening the knot of my tie. “It’s time for us to pull ourselves together and hope some people show up.”
― Michael Currinder, Running Full Tilt
