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.

After flying to Orlando yesterday with the family, Conner and I woke up and ran a little over 5 miles around the hotel.  It was fun running--warm and nice.

Then we took a shuttle to the port and boarded the Disney Dream cruise ship.  5 nights cruising in the Bahamas.

Woke up on the cruise ship, got Conner up, and we ran on the running track on the Disney Dream.  Big ship--2.5 laps equaled 1 Mile.  The boat rocking a little made it a little slower run for me.  Conner wasn't really affected.

For fun I used my GPS.  It logged somewhere around 15 miles (The ship was moving).  Actual laps we only did 5.25.

Went to Castaway Key (Disney's Private Island).  They had a 5K fun run.  It was nice.

Conner easily one the race.  I was right behind another runner. They gave us Disney water bottles for competing.  Later they left certificates of completion in our cabins.  Nice fun run--water stations were great.

 Afterwards, we enjoyed the beach with the family.
