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 cannot believe how inconsiderate....or blind, some drivers are. There must have been 3 occasions today while I was running on the street that drivers turned in front of me....nearly clipping me off....and I had the right of way at the intersection. Thank God I could see them!.I will need to find myself a more peaceful route to run, and less fumes also! I envy those that live in areas were there are nice trails, away from the city. I think I need to move somewhere else....like out West. |
