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.

Cross training.  Hip was bugging me a little so I did some swimming and lifting.

Got dressed for a run in the morning, got my Garmin 305 out and it was totally dead.  It says it is charging when I put it in the cradle, I can download from it, but once I pull it off the cradle it dies.  Looks like the battery is gone.  It worked well for about 3 1/2 years so I can't complain.

I was a little de-motivated so I decided to do some cross training today at the Sports Academy at noon and then run in the evening.  We had some network issues in the evening at work so I had to stay way late and couldn't run.  My legs also need a little break. 

When I just got home I ordered a new Garmin.  Found a new Garmin 305 on line (boxed) for only $87  (one time deal).  Looking forward to getting it.  I was debating on the newer forerunner model, but I think I like the 305 best (for the price).  It is a little big but that doesn't bother me too much...
