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.

Laid up the past two days with an infected root canal.  I decided that I was feeling good enough to get out there and knock out a long run.  That would give me 2 big workouts this week and make sure that this would not be a lost week.  I felt really good given the layoff and circumstances. Slowed down in the 2nd half of the run coming back uphill and against the wind. I'll take my normal day off tomorrow and hopefully I'll be 100% on Monday.
