2. Don't get burn out :-) 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 miles in North Logan at noon. Nice and cool for this time of the day. It was sprinkling (not really raining) which made it a good temperature in which to run. 7:23/mile average pace. |

This was the first Smithfield "Not Yo' Mamma's Half" Marathon.
It was a nice run. The course was a bit short (under 13), but
considering the hills-up around Smithfield golf course and then down to
Mac Park and up Smithfield Canyon-I'll take it as a half. For a first
half marathon that Smithfield Recreation organized, it was well done.
Bryce King (the race director) did well.
It was really nice to have a local half marathon that isn’t an
aided "downhill" course. It was challenging and enjoyable. From the data
on my garmin from connect.garmin.com, there was an overall elevation
gain of around 852 and loss of 848 feet from Garmin Training Center
(on my computer) it showed around 1543 gain/loss, adding up
and down
every little hill.
I didn't push it as hard as I could have, but am satisfied. It
was an awesome experience running it with Conner (14) and Claire
(Clarissa) who is 12. Conner took 2nd overall and did a good job. Paul
Peterson did a great job coming in 1st overall. It was good to
see them running down the Canyon as I was going up :-).
After finishing, I talked with Conner and the family, got a
drink, and ate a piece of watermellon. Then I jogged back up the course a
few miles and met Claire and then ran back in together. She did an
awesome job of finishing in 2:02:34. She placed 1st in her age group for
females 18 and under. She was very satisfied and didn't seem very beat
up at the end. Maybe another runner in the family. She was excited and
wants to do another one.
We waited until the awards were given out and then I ran 3.1
miles up to Hillside in Smithfield, around a few blocks and then back
home. Total miles was around 20.
