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.

Nice...how's the recovery going? I think you have a 3:10 in you for Boston- if not better!

Thanks Dave....For the most part, I feel almost 100% recovered. Plan on a 14-16 miler tomorrow to end the week.
I definetely need to incorporate much more speed/hills in my training now!
I will be in Seattle for the month of November and naturally, there are many hills, so I will take advantage of that.
Sounds like you are enjoying total recovery and your plans for a half and a full in November is incredible....Good luck1
