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.

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.
