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.

21.50 miles at a slow pace of 8.39 minutes per mile....3 hrs, 06 minutes. Beautiful day for a longer run...could not resist. Set out to do 15 and just kept going. Its been a while since I've done a 20-plus miler in a single run so I kept it slow, but my legs felt great from start to finish!.
