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.

6.21 miles at noon.  Good jog.  Hot.  I need to keep logging my miles.  Maybe some day I'll go back and log a lot of the miles I've ran and not logged.

Run #1.  Just re-did running goals and created a new running plan.  Did 6 miles up/down Smithfield Canyon with Garrett.  Good run. We were both sore afterwards.  Time to start loosing the weight (again).
