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.

Raining pretty hard so I chickened out and went to the Sports Academy at noon and ran 8 miles on a treadmill. 2.0 incline at 7:15 / mile.

I also though it would be better to run indoors to keep runing at a little higher temperature. The run felt great.

Cross Trained at the Sports Academy in Logan. I was a little bummed yesterday when I checked the St. George Marathon page and couldn't find my name so I thought I didn't get in. This afternoon I received an e-mail that I drew out in the lottery and am in!

8 mile tempo run from Smithfield to Hyde Park and back. Felt really good. It a really nice day to get out and run... 7:02/mile average.

8 miles at noon from the Sports Academy up through North Logan to behind USU and back. Good run--around 60 degrees. Nice day. 7:17/mile average. Sped up a bit the last three miles.

Earlier AM - had a fun time watching the Smithfield Health Days 5 and 10K. Jogged the mile run with my 9 year old to keep him going. They turned everyone doing the mile run around a little earlier, so it wasn't a mile, but it was fun. After the 5K and 10K had a good chat w/ Steve and Scott, and met Dave... Good times.

At 11:00, did an 8.15 mile loop around from Smithfield to Hyde Park - 7:33 AP while Conner was getting ready for his soccer game. I was planning to run quite a bit slower. At the start of each mile I looked down and my watch and slowed down, but gradually spead up a little toward the end of each mile. I think I was thinking about the 5K and 10K I watched this morning.
