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.

10 slow miles around Smithfield right after eating a big dinner -- oops. Nice and slow for the stomach. Probably a good idea to keep it slow. 7:57/mile AP

10 miles out and back at noon around North Logan, up to USU and back.

first mile - slightly downhill
miles 2-3 - 300 foot rise,
miles 4 and 5 - fairly flat, and back.

7:13 average pace.

NICE DAY! I think spring may finally be here--around 55 degrees.

15 miles in the afternoon in Smithfield. 7:36 average pace.

It was 69 degrees--I'm not use to it this hot, but it was nice. I was 201 lbs when I left, I drank 2 x 20 oz water bottles that I placed along the route, and weighed in at 192.5 when I got back home. Pretty dehydrated...

Overall it was a nice run for being two weeks out from the Ogden Marathon.
