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.

Speed work: 1M warmup; 1M @ 7:08/mi; .5M jog; .5M @ 7:08/mi; cool down.  I was supposed to do 2 mile repeats of 7:08/mi but I was really laboring on the second and had to cut it short.  This was the fastest I've ever run on a TM (8.4 mph).

Long, slow run today.  Felt much better this week although I did tire after 9M.  I attribute that to the route which had a lot of mini-hills between miles 3 and 8.
