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.

AM: Starting a new regimen of morning workouts.  It's become too difficult to run in the evening due to numerous familial commitments. We'll see how it goes. Everything hinges upon whether I can get to bed at a decent hour. 

Very slow run. Just tried to keep chuggin regardless of the speed. Achilles/ankle felt better but the piriformis is ever-present.

6AM: Ran to and from the Club; light lower body weight training + 30 min easy on TM w/ half dozen pickups.  Listening to Yale Professor David Blight's Civil War Lecture Series. One of the best things about iTunes is the free educational/news content.

630AM: Very cold. Wanted to run outside but ended up running to the club, hitting the TM, and running home. Trying out a new iPhone running app (Digifit).  Haven't decided if I like it better than Runkeeper.  It does seem to have more free data.
