Personal:

I got back into running in January 2007. Lost 35 pounds and keep trying to follow my high school track/cc son around. Soon found out that coaching was a better choice. Ran semi seriously in high school ( 4:30 ish mile), but had done no running in 29 years. I think I'm back and complain heavily when not allowed to run.

Details later. Half (6.55 miles) in 52 minutes, second half in 65 minutes.  It was not the knee which actually gaveme no trouble but a seized calf muscle that actually stopped mein my tracks. I actually had to walk almost a mile before I could jog the final 5 miles.
