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.

| After driving Conner down to the SLC airport to drop him off, returning back, working way late, wasn't able to put in a run. Today will be my off day instead of tomorrow :-).
Did some Cross-Training.

| 12 miles up and down Smithfield Canyon with Claire. Had a good visit. She is getting faster! I wondered if I could keep up with her at some points. Good workout.
We counted runners/bikers in the canyon for fun: 18 runners (including ourself), 7 bikers. Sometimes there is more bikers than runners...
Fun longest day of the year.
About a ~7:50/mile AP
