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.

No running today, just a relaxing day at home, and did some yardwork, although it was very windy outside.

8.300.000.000.008.30

Sunny skies, 78 F and winds out of the S @ 6 mph.

8.30 miles in 67 minutes with an average pace of 8.04 minutes. Its so difficult to really keep a good pace in the heat....especially over 75 degrees..I need to get myself motivated to get outside earlier in the morning.

Bike ride today....35 kilometers.....had to take advantage of these rare days of calming winds. It seems lately that its always so windy out, which makes biking not so enjoyable when I'm into a headwind.

Tread Mill run today....looks like we are going to have some very unstable weather today, so I didn't want to take my chances outside. ....4 mile run in 30 minutes to sweat a bit!

strength training at the gym....chest and arms.

60 Km. bike ride.....was a perfect day to be out on the bike....calm winds, warm and sunny. I was going to run the Moon in June race, but changed plans  and hung out with my brother all day on our bikes. Great day!
