Personal:

I am a 52 yr. old single father of four children.  I am retired after injuring my back in 2000. I had back surgery, stopped running, and gained about 80 pounds. Decided to take my health into my own hands....lost 100 pounds, went to Nepal and trekked for two months in the Himalayas...climbed almost 18,000 ft.....felt so proud of myself....began running again. I qualified for Boston in Oct. 2009. I have shifted my focus now on ultra-marathons with the hope to run my first this year.

Outside run.....Sunny, 26 F and winds out of the SW @ 8 mph.

Ran 10.10 miles at an easy pace of 8.31 minutes per mile. Lots of ice on the trail, which made it somewhat tricky to run on. Right heel still painful, but seems to be getting better....glad to have got this outside run in...lots of sunshine!!

1.251.001.000.003.25

TM......No real agenda for this run.....ran 3.25 miles with mile 1 @ 8.0 minute  per mile pace, mile 2 @ 7.0, and mile 3 @ 6.30, and 0.25 mile cool down. Strange but my heel actually feels like its getting better with these short runs, and if I run 10 or more mile, I am in much pain for a day after, so I will use this opportunity to get some key runs with speed in.

Strength training....shoulders and abs.
