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.

630AM:  5+ miles easy on TM w/ 5 pickups at 1/2 mara pace.  Developed a shin splint on my left leg. Probably the result of increasing my frequency of training the past week.  Need to figure out how to post text on this site from my iPad & iPhone. Safari won't let me type in this field.

830PM: Light strength training (3 sets of single leg extensions, single leg press). TM: Easy + 5 x 1/4 mi @ 7:30/mi pace. Some days are better than others and today was better than most.  Visited PT again yesterday. Opted to discontinue visits until I get an MRI and ascertain whether there's some structural issue w/ my ankle/achilles that is affecting everything on my left side, including piriformis.

8PM: Nice run outside at easy/intermediate pace. Six days of running this week.  Will use a rest day tomorrow.  The plan is to continue to gradually increase base mileage by 10-20% per wk through February before I start a specific marathon training plan for UVM in June.
