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 mile out and back in North Logan. First 5 was with Blake C. (co-worker). Went out at a good pace 7:13/mile for the first 5 miles. He had to cut it short, so I went (back the way we came) and finished up the 10.1 miles with a 7:12/mile AP.

Good jog. A little windy from the West, but overall felt good.
