Personal:

I herniated/ruptured a disk (L4/L5) in my back in December, 2005. I told my orthopedic surgeon I wanted to start running. He said "You'll never run again.". What a challenge! So...I started running.

Since then I've lost about 50 pounds, ran 13 marathons and a number of other races.

I am still a clydesdale runner (over 200 lbs), have a large frame, big bones, and not built like a runner at all. I'm not fast. I mostly run to have some time to myself and keep in shape.

10 slow miles in North Logan at noon. I wanted to say "slow and easy miles", but I think doing more of a tempo run yesterday aggravated my knee--so although slow, it wasn't too easy.

The first three miles were a little painful, then things went better. The next three were o.k., but the last four were a little painful. A little "runners" knee. Anyway, it was a good day outside to run.

7:45/mile AP.
