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.

7 miles again at noon in North Logan. Nice and slow - 7:58/miles. My left knee was bugging me a little. Hopefully the calf, knee, and hip will heal by next Saturday.

8 miles in Smithfield. My knee was bothering me so I decided to run a 1 mile loop 8 times in my neighborhood and see how it felt. Did this so if I had to hobble home, I wouldn't be more than a half mile away. Did 8 laps. Calf and knee were very sore. I worked on my form and things seemed to be o.k. Very evenly paced 7:34/mile average.

We'll see how things go in a week at St. George.
