Personal:

Started running in November 2007 to get fit. Now I'm back almost to square one after back surgery. I did it once and I'll do it again.

"In truth, runners don't race other runners. They race against themselves: to conquer their wills, to transcend their weaknesses, to beat back their nightmares. And while a runner can't actually beat himself, he can beat his time. Even years into running, he can get better."  Running for His Life by Michael Hall.

AM: 1M warmup; 4.6M Tempo Run @ 7:47/mi pace; .75M cooldown. I was supposed to go 5M but I had to stop to puke.  Luckily, I had nothing in my stomach to expel as I didn't eat anything prior to the workout.  Four or five dry heaves and it was over.  That's the first time I've puked while running since high school football. :) 

Lunch: 3.72 easy miles to get my 10M for the day.

Wow, way to push yourself! Welcome the bloggers puking club (Superfly is the President...you want to read a funny story see his race report from the Relay Del Sol in 2008!).

Jeff- Thanks. Just read Superfly's race report and I nearly spit Diet Mt. Dew all over my cpu screen when he passing that poor girl. Hilarious!!

Burt- Indeed. It ranks right up there with getting kneed in the groin. :)
