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 miles up and down Smithfield Canyon in the morning. Felt really sluggish and slow going up--couldn't get the legs moving. On the way down things changed and I felt a lot better (amazing how going downhill does that). Averaged around 7:50/mile.

4.1 miles at noon. 7:04/mile average pace.

13.1 miles up and down Smithfield Canyon at noon in the heat. Started out pretty good. Between mile 8 and 9 my left calf started hurting pretty bad so I slowed way down to ease up on it. I'm getting pretty frustrated about my calf...hopefully it will start feeling better soon. Around a 7:50/mile average pace.
