Born-Again Runner . . . sort of
Backgrounder, dated January 9, 2004: I'm in my 62nd year, having carried 242 to 246 pounds on my 6'1-1/2" frame for too many years. My high-school weight was 176, so I could drop up to 70 pounds, if I could. Today, I ran for the first time in years, almost three minutes--twice! I've been born again. Alleluia!

WALK/RUN 3/1 28 MINUTES ON TREADMILL

When I was sorting through my late father's things the other day, I came across a startling photograph. It was taken in 1981 at the conclusion of the first Toronto 100 Ultramarathon.

The runner in the photo was skinny, in a healthy sort of way. He was tall but probably didn't weigh much more than his high school weight. I'm going to get a blow up made of the photo and hang it up for inspiration.

The skinny guy in the photo was me--25 years and 65 pounds ago.
