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.
7 miles in North Logan at noon. Nice and overcast today. Today felt good, nice and easy. 7:30/mile AP.

Rob,
Hi. I learned about you son Conner through a blog by Jake. So I looked him up and learned about you.
You guys are great runners.
I read some of your information to the left. Excellent how you picked up running again in 2005.
AND, while you may not be focusing on speed all the time, YOU ARE FAST! Either that or I am really slow.
Continue to enjoy the running.
