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.

Mountain bike ride in county......60 km.

Rest day from running......Very pleased with this weeks efforts.....112 miles of running and 100 km. of mountain biking. I might drop the miles down around 80 this week as a recovery week....will see how the body responds to my long run tomorrow.
