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.
8.2 miles in North Logan at 1:00. Hot - 94 Degrees. Did the first 3.1 with Brent, then did another 5.1. Not used to running in the heat, did an easy pace - 7:56/mile average.

Nice run. I struggle to run 8 minute pace when it's over 90. Actually, I try not to run at all when it's over 90!

Yeah, hotter than I've ran in a long time. Time for me to exercise a little discipline and get up early enough to run before work. Take care...
