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 miles in the afternoon in North Logan. Hot day, slower run.

I wonder what that orthopedic surgeon is thinking right about now? Really flubbed that prediction.

Yup. I'm here in Eugene with Conner. He's running the 10K in the Jr. USA Championships. Have a good one.
