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 25.50 miles with no time kept. Had to stop a few places to warm up as it was very cold. Hydration became a problem because my hydration belt with four water bottles froze up! Lots of ice on the path to contend with....all in all a decent run but challenging due to the cold.

22.00 miles at a pace of 8.27 minutes per mile....3 hrs, 06 minutes.

We had a snow storm last night, so the paths were completely snow covered so I had to run on the road this entire run as cars wizzed by me...very stressful, but the only way I could get a run in today....felt pretty good considering having a long run of 25.50 miles in on Sunday of this week.
