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.

Are you running Boston?

From Brian on Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 19:58:44 from 24.57.195.5

I am going to wait till next year to do Boston....just too much going on this year. I will train hard this year and try to improve my time this fall in Detroit. I injured my heel doing some intense hill training in Washington at year end and its been a very difficult injury to get over.....just when I'm feeling good it seems to flair up again, forcing me to keep the mileage very low. Slowly its improving and hopefully by spring I will be back to normal.

From rockness18 on Sun, Feb 21, 2010 at 20:36:37 from 75.11.48.102

Sorry to hear about your injury. I lost almost 2 months worth of training due to injury as well. Finally feeling healthy again. I wish you luck and hopefully you'll be back to normal again soon.

How's the training going?

From Brian on Sat, Mar 06, 2010 at 18:39:29 from 24.57.195.5

Training is going much better....injury, for the most part is gone, and I'm working my way back to my pre-marathon base.I'm going to try and keep my mileage at about 60 per week but include key trianing runs with 1 mile speed intervals....something I really lacked last year....put to much effort into long runs!

Your really logging some impressive mileage!

I feel the best now than any other time of my life....I am vegetarian and I pay special attention to diet and fueling my body accordingly....and it seems to work for me.

From Rob Murphy on Sat, Mar 13, 2010 at 22:52:36 from 98.202.182.29

Interesting. Well, keep up the good work. I'm now 45 and I've recently started quite a bit of weights and strength training - I think it's made me stronger and more balanced and I'm way less "achy" that I used to be.

I was born in 1964 just across the "river" from you - in Wyandotte.

From Brian on Fri, Apr 02, 2010 at 13:03:38 from 24.57.195.5

Honestly...there isn't a real plan right now, except to run at least 1 marathon per year and try to achieve a personal best each time. Other than that, I just love going out every morning and running for at least a couple hours...and for the most part I feel better when I run more.

From Brian on Fri, Apr 23, 2010 at 16:55:06 from 24.57.195.5

Steve.....I'm not sure to be honest. Last year around this time I was hitting this type of mileage and it really got to me, but this year, I'm feeling so much stronger, but I'm listening to my body and I will cut back if needed...but I just love doing the longer mileage runs!

From Tom Slick on Fri, Apr 23, 2010 at 23:37:43 from 172.190.176.45

Again, I'm impressed with your mileage, be careful not to over train for your early fall marathon.....keep up the good work and we'll see you in Boston. Are you using the Detroit MArathon to BQ?

Rest day.....after 7 weeks of high mileage, I decided to make this a recovery week...about 3-4 runs with a maximum of 50-60 miles. I'm beginning to feel mentally and physical tired, so I am going to listen to my body and use this week to recoop....I want to get in a very productive year of running.. needless to say....no desire for an injury!

A very inspiring paragraph out of the book...Born To Run in regards to long distance trail  running....

"Relax enough, and your body becomes so familiar with the cradle-rocking rhythm that you almost forget you're moving. And once you break through to that soft, half-levitating flow, that's when the moonlight and champagne show up: You have to be in tune with your body, and know when you can push it and when to back off . You have to listen closely to the sound of your own breathing; be aware of how much sweat is beading on your back; make sure to treat yourself to cool water and a salty snack and ask yourself, honestly and often, exactly how you feel. What could be more sensual than paying exquisite attention to your own body?"

I haven't checked in for a while. How's the running going? Getting ready for any races? How's your friend Todd? (used to blog, but seemed to drop out about a year ago) Hope all is well!

From Brian on Sat, Sep 04, 2010 at 18:36:33 from 24.57.195.5

Dave...

Nice to hear from you.....running is going well, but not training with much intensity the last couple of months....heat and humidity has been terrible around here lately...were finally getting some relieve.....I'm running the Detroit marathon again in October and the Toronto marathon in the spring.

Todd is doing well....changed his training routine quite a bit...now focusing on doing Ironman Triathlons....he hired a coach and doing lots of swimming and biking...he decided for some reason to stop blogging.anyway....your training is going well I see...I follow your blogs for inspiration!

From rockness18 on Sat, Sep 04, 2010 at 19:23:10 from 69.183.231.193

Good to here- I look forward to seeing how your next marathon goes. You really seemed to have strengthened and matured as a runner (you'd probably make a naturally "ultra" guy). Also, give a shout out to Todd for me.
