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 miles out and back in Smithfield. 7:46 AP.

Went up to Summit, Down Hillside Dr, to the North end of Hyde Park. This was a loss of about 300 Feet.

From there I turned North to Smithfield and up Smithfield canyon to the campgrounds. A gain of about 1000 feet. Turned around and came back. At mile 20 I was slowing down back up the origional 300 feet, so I took a little break. Turned off the garmin, walked a few blocks (to the top of the hill) and slowly jogged in the last two miles. I can tell my legs are still a little tired from Boston 12 days ago.

It was a good run. Now I can taper for the Ogden marathon in three weeks :-).
