    Going beyond two miles continues to be my nemesis. The back/hip pain really kick in around then. I had my last Steroid shot in my back last Thursday, so maybe I can finally start getting my weight ... read more

      I was rear-ended in a vehicle accident back in October that resulted in five slipped/bulging discs in my back. I've been trying to get back to running ever since.

    I've already doubled last weeks best effort! I guess they always say your first mile is always the toughest, which it was in my case coming back from injury. On to mile number three!

    Over 45,000 runners in the 2012 Chicago Marathon, and I'm one of the three runners featured on the billboards! THAT is pretty cool! (see the guy with the flag pictured on every 4th light pole?)

      I had one on my wrist for years.Finally my hand did not work well and it hurt 24 / 7. It was removed in the late 1960's. No probs for over 40 years.
