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.

Finally getting back into the running thing. Good 7.15 loop in Smithfield with Tom. Starting up 6th South, I came down on my forfoot pretty hard on my left leg. Felt a pinch in my left calf that hurt pretty bad for about 15 meters. Took it easy up hill. 7:40/mile AP. Tom is in a lot better shape than me. It will be good to run with him to help motivate me and get back into shape.
