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.

| Today is a rest day for me...which I find to be difficult, but I want to be well rested for this week. Anyway, its an all day rain outside, so a nice day to stay indoors and relax! I will use this day to work on my photo album of 400 pictures that I'm putting together....with captions...from my 2 month journey to Nepal and the himalyian mountains. |

Had a slow first half, partly due to the strong head wind and very cold temps...6.75 miles in 55 minutes....8.15 minute pace. Second half....6.75 miles in 49 minutes...7.25 minute pace. Total time for run was 1 hour, 44 minutes....7.70 minute pace. |

2 hours of strength training at the gym.....chest and shoulders, and 45 minutes of cross training. I have quite abit of pain in the adductor muscles, and after doing a little research on the internet, I realized that I better take 1 or 2 days off of running or else I will be sidelined for awhile. Its that old story....you have to listen to your body!
one half hour of biking outside today....very cold! |

Another day of not running, but my muscles feel like they are less sore....although I was so tempted to run, I thought I would give it another day and see how it feels tomorrow. I don't know what I would do if I could never run again, my day just doesn't feel complete without a run.
Anyway, I did 2 hours of strength training....arms and legs and 1 hour of crosstraining....also one half hour of outdoor biking....great day for that as there was 0 wind...felt good! |

I decided to try to run today....ran 6.0 miles in 46 minutes....average pace of 7.67 minutes. I felt soreness and this mild pain did not subside at all through the run, so I'm hoping I didn't worsen things as I plan on doing a 16 miler this weekend....I will see how things feel on Saturday.
1.50 hours of strength training.....back muscles. |

| Wonderful day for a long run.....sunny skies, calm winds out of the north and 22 F temps. 16.50 miles in 2 hours 20 minutes....average pace of 8.48 minutes. Lower abdominal muscles pains were moderate throughout the run and did not go away....I will take tomorrow off and rest....see how things are Monday....I believe that the chiropractic adjustments and magnetic lazer therapy will greatly help....and of course....not running as many miles untill things are better! |
