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.

6AM: Starting Pfitzinger's 18 week 55-70 mpw training plan in week 17 (only 17 wks til UVM).  General Aerobic Run: 8M + 10x100m strides @ 10k pace. 3+ miles was outside (to and from the gym) w/ the rest on a TM. 3 sets of single leg extensions & single leg presses.  Broke in a new pair of LunaRacer's. I think these are my favorite all around shoes. Very light and still cushy enough to not wear me out from the pounding my joints take from all the running I typically do on cement sidewalks.

545AM: Medium long run. Easy pace. It was supposed to be 12M but nature called and I took a shortcut home. Will try to get a couple more tonight & do some light weight training at the club.

550AM: General Aerobic Run: More stomach issues. Had an emergency stop at a Jack in the Box in mile 7 and felt much better afterward. In fact, that pit stop was equal to :15/mi increase in pace w/ no increase in effort.  Flare up of the PF on the left hammie made this run even more challenging.

230PM: LSR- lots of sidewalks & stoplights. Didn't have time to drive down to the GB where I like to do my long runs in order to avoid the same. Stopped once 4 powerade. Didn't have any stomach issues which was a small victory.
