2009 First Dam Run - 41:37 Long-Term Running Goals: 1. Enjoy running 'til I drop dead - and put that off as long as possible.
2. Don't get burn out :-) 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.

I threw my back out again yesterday, so I decided I'd better not run today and take it easy until the Ragnar next week.
Still had a great day hobbling around at the Utah Valley Marathon finish line. It was fun to see Conner come in at 1:11:24 in the half marathon, taking fifth overall, breaking the record for his age group. Claire also did great, breaking the record for her age group. They both did well despite the nasty dirty headwind blowing in their faces...that would have totally de-motivated me.

| 2 Miles of the first leg of the Ragnar Wasatch Back. I was runner number 12. Nice trail run. Wasn't quite ready when Trevor came in way earlier than expected so I didn't warm up, have my headlamp/tail lamp on, etc. Burned my lungs a little, but had a lot of fun. |

PM: 7.23 miles of the last leg of the Ragnar. Hot in the afternoon-a lot of walkers. Passed 61 people. Got passed by one runner. |
