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.....Cloudy, 43 F and winds out of the E @ 12 mph.

First day running after a 4 day flu......felt about 80 % recovered but I wanted to get a least 3 small runs in this week before marathon day.

Ran 5.25 miles in 37 minutes....average pace of  7.03...legs felt good but lots of coughing and runny nose from flu....glad to have gotten this run in!
