Wow.. glad to see you back. That's pretty awesome that you're back out here. My personal goal is to just get into better shape and prepare myself to get under 3 Hours at next years Disney Half Marathon.

Good Luck with your goals!! What is your current 5K PR?

I tried a running skirt once, but my wife told me I looked fat. So I'm back to shorts :-)

Congratulations!! That's very impressive and a very inspirational story. You should be very proud of your accomplishment.

It's always better to be cautious. I've been known to be stubborn at times when it comes to going to the doctor and it always backfires. Maybe one day I'll even follow my own advice.

Good Luck on Sat. Let us know how you do!

I see you're doing the Goofy Challenge. Will this be your first time? The Disney races are pretty cool. I'll be down there to run the Half. Maybe someday I'll be ready for the Goofy Challenge.

Listen - I've learned that running is not an age based sport. My jr high principal ran into his 80's without problem. If you want to run and you're doctor gives you the thumbs up - then keep it up. Start slow and don't over extend yourself. I'm in my early 30's and also on a beta blocker. I haven't had any side effects. But I'm pretty early into my re-introduction to running.

As for the not having a good day today - no big deal. This isn't a test. You don't need a "perfect score" everyday. Guess what you were out there trying and that's the best anyone can ask for. There are so many people out there that never even take that first step. Be proud of getting out there and don't be afraid to have a bad run because you can't have a bad run without running. :-) Keep us posted on your progress!!

Support is always helpful. Keep coming to this forum. This has been a great place to come to when you need that extra push or a pat on the back.

Re: This is a little is an unusual question, but I gotta ask it!

Good question. I was thinking the same thing yesterday. I ran a 5k and it was a little humid and the boxer briefs were running a little close. Today... lets just say it hurts to adjust the boys. Yesterday's race was the first one in warm weather for me. I think I'll be free next race.

The Prefontangels

Since Steve Prefontaine was a pretty kick a$$ running super hero - the name seems to fit.
