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.......I did not plan on running today, but this morning I had some errans to do in my car and I seen so many people out running and so I could not resist....even though I did not leave the house till noon.....the temperature was 89 F and with the humidex factored in the temp felt like 111 F with mostly sunny skies and a considerable wind out of the SW @ 17 mph. Ran 16.50 miles at a real slow pace......at about 2 miles from home on the back half the heat just felt like more than I could handle, so I stopped at the beach there and jumped in the lake....felt really good!....then ran the rest of the way back home. A real mental endurance run today!!

| Outside run.....Sunny, 78 F and winds out of the S @ 11 mph. Humidity @ 79 % makes it feel like 97 F! Another hot day....man its difficult to run in this heat and I cannot run earlier in the day because of other comittments, so these runs make me feel like I am regressing in my training....ran 10.1 miles today and it felt like a 15 mile run! Total time of run was 1 hr, 17 minutes with an average pace of 7.37 minutes.

| Outside run......Sunny skies, 77 F and winds out of the W @ 4 mph. Ran 10.10 miles in a time of 1 hr, 15 minutes.....average pace of 7.26 minutes. This humidity is really getting to me. I noticed that I lost about 7 lbs. of water weight on these 10 mile runs the last few days, when I usually will only loose about 4 lbs. on a 20 or more mile run. Incredible how much I sweat! Would like to get a long run in tomorrow so it will be an early one!
