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.

6.64 miles at the Boulder FlatIrons XC Course.  Easy jog.  Ate a big breakfast.  We picked up Conner's packet and then went to check out the course.  Decided to do our run (it was about 10:30).  Jogged 5 times around the course.  Too much food in the morning. Saw a lot of pros jogging the course.  From Ryan Hall to others.

When we went back to the motel, stomach felt a little better.  Ran 3.5 more on the treadmill.  Felt good.  Great weather.

6.25 mile loop in Smithfield.  Went to McFarland USA with the family.  Hadn't done my run yet because we've been busy working on the house.  After the run I learned something good...don't eat a whole bunch of popcorn, drink a small root beer, then try go go on a run not too long afterwards (haha).  Anyway, a good jog.  Cut it a little short.  7:40/mile AP.

I really liked McFarland USA. The only thing I didn't like was the cross country runners that didn't look like cross country runners. Aren't there any skinny actors?

We liked it also..great story. Really great "feel good" movie. Your right about them not being that skinny.

4.25 miles in Beijing by the Days Inn.  Air quality was poor.  You could taste the pollution.  Some sweat dripped into my eye and it burned.  Decided to cut the run way short.

Finally getting back into the running thing.  Good 7.15 loop in Smithfield with Tom.  Starting up 6th South, I came down on my forfoot pretty hard on my left leg.  Felt a pinch in my left calf that hurt pretty bad for about 15 meters.  Took it easy up hill.  7:40/mile AP.  Tom is in a lot better shape than me.  It will be good to run with him to help motivate me and get back into shape.
