2009 First Dam Run - 41:37 Long-Term Running Goals: 1. Enjoy running 'til I drop dead - and put that off as long as possible.
2. Don't get burn out :-) 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.

| This morning I threw my back out shoveling snow, but I was bent on going for a run anyway. 6 painful miles. I started out at doing a slow shuffle at about a 9:30 pace. After about a mile things actually started loosening up and I sped up a little. Still did the 6 miles in a 8:15 AP pace in the snow, slush and ice. Probably should have taken the day off but what the hey...

| Decided to take the day off and let the back heal a little. Pretty sore. |

| 6 mile loop in North Logan/Logan at noon with Blake and John (co-workers). Ended up being a good run. Back still sore but the IBUProfen regiment over the last two and a half days has helped. 7:40/mile AP. |

| 8.02 mile loop in North Logan during lunch. Slowed down a little to run smoothly as to not "jar" my back. 7:45/mile AP. |

| 6 mile out and back at noon with Blake (co-worker). Great day--36 degrees, a little sunny, and the inversion has been blown out so the air quality was great. A little slush in a few spots on the first mile but other than that it was great! 6:58/mile AP. Mile
