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.

20 at 7:39/min.  Nice run.  Wet due to a very light rain.  Still a lot of snow.  Ran up and down Smithfield Canyon, around the golf course, toward Hyde Park, up past Sky View HS, and back.  A bit dehydrated--need to drink more during the run.
