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.

Ran my first 10 km. run in a long time.....sort of an imformal run and a little confusing because there were 5 km walkers, 10 km walkers and runners all on the same route, and it was a double loop for the 10 km. runners, so many  runners made a few wrong turns, but this was a first annual run for the CMHA so I'm sure next year they will correct some of these problems. Never the less, it was a perfect day for this run......sunny, mid 50's and very little wind. This was a personnel best time for me also...with an average pace of  6.42 minutes. total time of 41 minutes and 54 seconds
