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.

T/M: Hill repeats; alternated 1 min intervals of 3, 4, 5, & 6.4% incline w/ 1 min cooldown in between for 5 miles. Legs felt very strong and my VO2 max is improving with every hill workout.

Midday fartlek run (2x1600 w/ 800 jogs) w/ warmup and cooldown.  My legs were still tight and felt heavy after last nights weight training.  Temperature was in the high 20's.  My shoes are falling apart but the cushion still seems adequate.  I've surpassed the 400 mile mark so its probably time to replace them.

T/M: 4+ miles of hill intervals; alternating 1 min 3.5/4.9/6.1/7.1% incline w/ 1 min .5 to recover; starting to see some dividends to my 2 weeks of hill work and weight training on my legs; felt much stronger this time around and still had enough left to cool down at 8:30 pace.
