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.
10.3 miles in Central Park with Conner, Elijah, Malachi, and their Dad. Fun run. AP approx 7:20/mile. Not that fast of a pace, but I could feel the small hills hit me good. Time to loose a little more weight.

Yeah, luckily they were doing a slow/easy long run. haha
It was a fun day. Both Conner and Elijah are great kids. Thanks for being a good mentor.

They are great kids. Their hard work and they way they compete sets a good example for all of us old(er) people as well.
