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 miles up and down Smithfield Canyon.  7:38/mile average pace.  Good jog. 

Had a little problem eating too much over the weekend.  My wife is too good of a cook...it is too hard to push away from the table and eat less calories.  We'll see how this week goes.

7 miles up and down Smithfield Canyon again.  Nice run, felt good.  I created a "course" from the same 7 mile run of Smithfield Canyon I did a while back, selected the course on my Garmin, and raced against myself on the previous run.  It was fun.  Also a nice morning to run, some clouds, and a little sprinkling...  7:18 average/mile.
