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.

AM - 10 nice easy miles up and down Smithfield Canyon. I've been running in the heat lately, and I think it is taking a toll...getting a little too dehydrated on my runs, even with drinking, and getting a little burned out...or burn't up :-). Starting to run in the morning this week. Left about 5:45 AM. It was nice and cool, but warm enough to work up a good sweat. I haven't ran this early in the up Smithfield Canyon in a while. Saw several "new" faces and others I knew. Good easy run. 7:55/mile AP.

PM - 2 miles in North Logan.  Did some cross training, planks, etc., and then went out and did a nice easy 2 mile run to streatch my legs out a little more.
