• I'm 56 years old and have been running for the past 24 years.
• We live in Southern California, but plan on retiring in Cambria near San Luis Opisbo (SLO) within the next few years. 
• After a bad case of PF in my late 40's, I cut way back on my running..... gained 70lbs (up to 240) and then about 3 years ago decided it was time to get back into shape.
• In the past 3 years, I have shed 55 of those pounds and have watched my race times drop and have managed to place in a few local races.
