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.
6 miles out and back at noon in North Logan. Went with a co-worker. Nice and slow. He picked it up about 13 Seconds faster that the last week run. ~7:49/mile AP.
8 mile out and back at noon. Forgot my garmin, so I ran with my iPhone using endomondo. Thought I had more battery, but the battery died just before mile 2. Based upon my start and end times, ran the 8 mile in about 59 minutes, which is a 7:23/mile pace.
