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.

Sunny, 62 F and winds out of the SE @ 2 mph.

8.10 miles in a time of 58 minutes.....average pace of  7.10 minutes. Felt so good to do this run. Last week I felt like my old injury was coming back and that is scary.....especially 2 weeks before the marathon, so I figured that I have no other option but to cut back on my running as much as possible these two weeks and hope for the best, but this run today felt really good, so I am optimistic....I just want to finish this marathon under 4 hours for my first.....plan on doing a small 4 mile run on Monday and another Wednesday and maybe Thursday.
