Personal:

I herniated/ruptured a disk (L4/L5) in my back in December, 2005. I told my orthopedic surgeon I wanted to start running. He said "You'll never run again.". What a challenge! So...I started running.

Since then I've lost about 50 pounds, ran 13 marathons and a number of other races.

I am still a clydesdale runner (over 200 lbs), have a large frame, big bones, and not built like a runner at all. I'm not fast. I mostly run to have some time to myself and keep in shape.

Went to Sport Academy and did a little cross training, then jumped on a treadmill. At first I was a bit sore. After warming up, I was surprised that the soreness went away. Did a mile in 7:30, then another one in 6:30, and then a cool down for .25. Legs felt ok, but decided not to push anything. Cooled down and went outside and sat in the Hot tub outside. Felt good.

Time to start working on the weight loss thing. Tomorrow I am going to start using Lance Armstrong's site www.livestong.com to track weight loss, calorie intake, calorie burning, etc. The site has a pretty good calorie counter site--used to be myplate. We'll see how it goes...25 lbs to go!
