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.

6.250.000.000.000.006.25

6.25 mile out-and-back at noon in North Logan.  Time to start training.  I've been running a little here and there but nothing to any avail.  I'll go back and enter some of my runs in for the past few months--the ones on my garmin or phone.

Overall a good jog - 7:49/mile AP.
