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.

8 mile out and back in North Logan with Blake C. 7:08/mile AP.

About at mile 5 it started raining hard and hailing. It was coming down so hard that two cars stopped and the drivers asked us if we wanted rides. The rain lasted from mile 5 to mile 7 and then slowed down. It was kind of fun.

8 miles. Same out and back in North Logan on an easy pace with a few faster miles. 7:25/mile AP. Felt hot, but it was only 64 degrees. I'm still used to the cold Winter and Spring.
