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 mile out-and-back in North Logan at noon. iPhone said 30 degrees. It felt a lot colder, but still had a good jog. 7:27/mile AP.

Rob,
Hi. Nice miles. I thought I checked recently and it seemed like you had some down time. Didn't want to be a pest and ask about it. Not sure why I thought that because it looks like you got some decent miles in there last week and today! Hope all well with you and your family. Talk to you soon.

Oh, By the way. I read that Conner had to have tryouts for the track team. That true or what? I mean, what is up with that??? All American and he has to have track tryouts? Guess I am not too up on the sport.

Thanks.
Yeah, they did have track tryouts...Conner just had to go through the motions. The tryouts weren't very difficult. The head coach just wants the rest of the kids to commit to being on the track team, push themselves a little, and get a baseline on their events. Fun stuff.
Have a good day.
