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.

Slow and easy. Longest run since the fall. Back has finally allowed me to run slowly and semi-regularly.

Good to hear from you too Joe! I really miss the FRB community. Hoping to get/stay healthy and back into racing in May.
