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.

Progressive TM run. Not as cold this week but snow is on the way. May get outside if it doesn't turn to rain. Run every day.

Easy + speed (4 x 1/4M @ 7:30/mi) on the TM. A decent winter storm swept through the valley yesterday so I went snowboarding last night w/ my eldest. My legs are trashed.

No sooner had I acknowledged my new goal of running every day did I go and injure myself doing something stupid. Built a snow fort on Tuesday evening w/ the kids and woke up in excruciating pain. Left hip/lower back is totally out. Stayed home from work and spent all day resting, stretching and massaging it. Felt good enough to run a quarter mile out and back. Wanted to run at least a mile but it was slushy and icy so I didn't push it. Pathetic
