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, 41 F and wimds out of the W @ 15 mph.

Ran 8.10 miles at an easy pace of 8.09 minutes per mile......total time of 1 hr, 06 minutes. Hopefully, this heel injury is almost heeled and I can resume to re-establish a solid base of at least 60 miles per week. Really enjoyed the run today with so much sunshine and mile temps!
