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.

Cloudy skies, 68 F and winds out of the S @ 9 mph.

8.10 miles today. Total time of 61 minutes with an average pace of 7.32 minutes. I thought that after four days off I would feel strong, but today the run felt hard.....my legs felt tight and crampy. I feel a slight cold coming on and that might have something to do with it.

strength training at the gym....arms

Hazy and partly sunny, 80 F and winds out of the SW @ 7 mph.

8.10 miles today at an average pace of 8 minutes per mile....65 minutes. Felt much better today than yesterday with this pace, but the last 2 miles were difficult due to the heat as I am not yet used  to running in these temperatures...must acclimatize.

Hazy and partly sunny. Very hot @ 86 F at the time I left for my run. Winds out of the SW @ 17mph.

8.10 miles in very hot, humid and windy conditions. Did not bother keeping time, asI knew this would be a slow run. There were very few people out on the trail today!
