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.

I had the day off for MLK day.  I contemplated a midday run outside but it was just too darn breezy.  Settled for an hour long run on the TM.  I'm starting to incorporate some faster paced finishing miles.

A little bit of leg strength training and then some easy TM miles.  I didn't sleep at all last night so I was more or less content to get whatever I could.

Easy TM run at a very relaxed pace.  I wasn't winded but my legs felt lifeless so I didn't push it, especially since I'm planning a long run for tomorrow.

Worst run in quite some time.  I just didn't have any energy and a stiff headwind was enough to just totally wear me out.  I had planned on a long run but about 1.5M in to it I knew it just wasn't going to work.  Hopefully, a day off tomorrow will get me back into the flow of things.
