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.

Ran 25.50 miles with no time kept. Had to stop a few places to warm up as it was very cold. Hydration became a problem because my hydration belt with four water bottles froze up! Lots of ice on the path to contend with....all in all a decent run but challenging due to the cold.

We had a snow storm last night, so the paths were completely snow covered so I had to run on the road this entire run as cars wizzed by me...very stressful, but the only way I could get a run in today....felt pretty good considering having a long run of 25.50 miles in on Sunday of this week.

Wow...Just read your Personal information. I'm impressed with your accomplishments. I'm your age but way behind you in running. I just started less than a year ago. Hoping to run my first Marathon this year. I've only run three 5K's so far and am running about 40 to 45 miles per week (but not in the cold weather like you!). If you don't mind I will follow your training and see how you do it.

Preston...

I don't mind at all...I do the same. That is what this blog is for. There are so many runners here with various fitness levels and different training goals, and they can offer a wealth of information and advice. This is an excellent running blog and can help you to achieve your training goals...whatever they may be.

Hey - I see that you are logging serious miles. With those kind of miles Boston qualifying should be really easy! And you could easily run a 30 miler with that 26 mile run.

From Brian on Mon, Jan 17, 2011 at 20:21:05 from 24.57.195.5

Benn....

I managed to get my Boston Qualifier in my last marathon , but I am leaning more towards training for ultra marathons....love the long distance runs!

Ran 22.0 miles at a comfortable pace of 8.54 minutes per mile....3 hrs, 16 minutes. Nice run in the rain although I was soaking wet when I got home with a couple blisters on my feet from wet shoes.

Hey Brian. I always see you way at the top of the mileage board and I can't help but wonder if you ever plan to race again?

From Brian on Wed, Aug 17, 2011 at 14:32:40 from 24.57.195.5

Ya.....need to get more involved with the local races as this will improve my overall performance....really trying to get a good base so I can feel confident doing an ultra...I really enjoy the longer distances.

Not good at writing up race reports, but anyways, decided to do this run for a couple reason's. Its to raise money for the Alzheimer's society in my home town...as my mother is suffering from the disease...and this is the first year a marathon is held here locally. There were about a 1000 people registered for various distances, but only about 50 registered for the marathon! I returned from Seattle this week and came down with a respiratory flu so I struggled with that. I didn't feel good right from the start so my plan was to maintain an 8.0 minutes pace and hold it so I could at least match my best marathon time of 3:30. I kept the pace at around 7.55 average for the first 16 miles and then everything started to fall apart...I probably averaged around a 8.45 to 9.0 minutes pace for the last 10 miles. Not my best marathon but all things considered, it was ok.

Miles 1-4... 7.56

          5-8... 7.55

          9-13... 7.56

          14-16... 7.58

          16-20.... 8.12

          20-26.... 9.10

Great job, Brian! It's always fun to run the local races for a good cause. I'm sure your mom is super proud of you as are your kids. Best of luck to you and your mom!
