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.

Tread Mill......ran 16.25 miles at a recovery pace of  8:30-9:00 minute pace. Back felt good and I felt very strong overall.....the most difficult thing was to deal with the boredom of the treadmill.

Strength training at the gym.......Chest.
