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.

| Outside run...55 F, sunny and winds out of the N @ 9 mph. Ran the best run of my life......26.0 miles in a time of 3 hours, 20 minutes.....no stopping and no hydrating....just straight through, and kept the pace at a very comfortable speed. This is the first time that I really can feel the benefits of the increased mileage....much more endurance, strength and stamina....very encouraging!!....average pace of 7.41 minutes.

Felt very strong from beginning to end....even felt like I could have pushed a little faster. Evening....Suppose to attend the running clinic tonight, but started to feel chilled....hopefully, I'm not coming down with something!
