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 mile long run at a slow pace of 8.53 minutes per mile....total time of 3 hrs, 11 minutes. The first half of this run the paths were ice covered....made for a slippery run, but most ice was melted on the back half as it warmed up considerably.

Left the house at the beginning of a winter snow storm moving into the area.... paths were very slippery and lots of slush as it rained all night....made for a real challenging run....glad to have got this run in and more happy to be back home...warm and dry!
