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.

rest today......last long run tomorrow before the marathon...

Just looking back at my year...comparing it to last year:

In 2008 prior to the October marathon I got in 9 long runs of 20-plus miles and a total  of about 1500 miles from January to October.

This year I got in 16 long runs of 20-plus miles, 5 long runs of 26 miles, 1 long run of 27.34 miles and 1 long run of 32 miles and a total thus far of about 2600 miles. I also ran a PB in a half-marathon race in July of 1:30:13.

I feel more prepared now than ever for a good fall marathon....
