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.

Outside run......Mostly sunny, 41 F and winds out of the NE @ 12 mph.
20.50 miles at a MP of 8.09 minutes per mile.....2 hrs, 47 minutes. I planned on doing a 15 mile run again today, but the weather was nice and I felt so good so I extended the run.

Brian, Your putting down some pretty impressive miles lately. Do you have a marathon coming up in the near future you've planned on running?

Tom...
Just Detroit in October and I'm doing Boston in April of next year.

Man those are some impressive mileage weeks! How do you do that kind of mileage at MP without breaking down..

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!

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?
