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.

Mesa, AZ

10AM: Traveled to AZ for the Fiesta Bowl on Thursday and Friday of last week so I haven't run for awhile.  I decided to take advantage of the wonderful weather down here (sunny and low 70's in the afternoon) and get in a run before heading over to the UOP Stadium in the afternoon.  Kinda breezy, w/ the temp in the high 50's to low 60's, but otherwise very pleasant. I ran in a t shirt and shorts for the first time in months but passed some locals wearing a coat, scarf and hat.  That's some perspective for ya.

Easy TM run.  A really tough week for running.  Travelled all day on Tuesday back from AZ.  Spent Wednesday and Thursday working late and catching up on sleep.  Looking forward to a 10 miler tomorrow.

Mid afternoon easy, slow run outside.  Temp around freezing w/ no wind.  First time I've run in the double digits since September or October.  Feels good to stretch it out a bit and go longer.  Legs feel fine but started to get a stomach ache and a side stitch the last couple of miles.  Getting my diet in order is the #1 priority right now.  Need to drop some lbs. quick so I can start some tempo runs.
