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.

20 miles from Smithfield to Hyde Park, back up to Smithfield and Smifield Canyon.

Really did well at the first. I went out too fast. Miles 1-4 lost 300 feet in elevation to Hyde Park, averaging aroud 6:50/mile. Then went north up Smithfield Canyon, gaining 800+ feet for the next six miles. Turned around and went back. At 17 miles the Garmin was at 7:25/mile. The last 3 slowed way down - (gaining the 300 ft in elevation I lost at the first of the run), and ended up with a 7:39/mile average.

We'll see how Boston goes. Got my bib # yesterday (3089). I may just run it as a fun run...we'll see how my left knee and the outside of my right foot holds out.
