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.

I haven't checked in for a while. How's the running going? Getting ready for any races? How's your friend Todd? (used to blog, but seemed to drop out about a year ago) Hope all is well!

Dave...
Nice to hear from you.....running is going well, but not training with much intensity the last couple of months....heat and humidity has been terrible around here lately...were finally getting some relieve.....I'm running the Detroit marathon again in October and the Toronto marathon in the spring.
Todd is doing well....changed his training routine quite a bit...now focusing on doing Ironman Triathlons....he hired a coach and doing lots of swimming and biking...he decided for some reason to stop blogging.anyway....your training is going well I see...I follow your blogs for inspiration!

Good to here- I look forward to seeing how your next marathon goes. You really seemed to have strengthened and matured as a runner (you'd probably make a naturally "ultra" guy). Also, give a shout out to Todd for me.
