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.

845PM:  Easy slow run w/ some pickups and a faster finish.  I may run a couple of miles tomorrow if time allows. Travel to Pocatello Friday afternoon, pick up my race bag and hopefully get a look at the course.

Hope to meet you in person this weekend! Where are you staying in Poky on Friday, maybe we can meet before the race. Travel safely from Boise.

You too. I'm actually staying w/ a friend. I'll be at the expo/packet pickup around 4-5ish. Otherwise, I'll see you at the finish and don't forget to say hey when you pass me on the course. :)

Good luck, sounds like you are ready for a big PR.
