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 in Smithfield. Calf finally starting to feel a little better.

7:52/mile average pace. I still need to watch it. Also my hamstrings

are really tight--need to do more post run stretching.

10 miles at noon at the Sports Academy in Logan. Thought I'd better do a treadmill to ease up on my calf. Good easy treadmill run. 7:00/mile average

20 slow miles around noon in Smithfield and up/down Smithfield Canyon. Slow run in the heat.

I drank a total of four 16 oz water bottles I placed on the course. One at mile 8, 10.6, 15, and 17. Four pounds of water and I still lost 6 pounds of water on the run. 199 when I started, 193 when I finished. I drank all day and was back up to 199 in no time.

I think it's time to start running earlier in the morning when it is cooler.
