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.

Been more than occupied w/ my wife's post-surgery recovery and taking care of the kiddos this weekend.  I finally got a moment to get away for my weekly long run. Unfortunately, it didn't come until late this evening.  Even then, it almost didn't happen due to an emergency involving my six year old and a very loose bottom tooth.  She wouldn't let me pull it and she wouldn't let me leave until it fell out. It's been a crazy weekend in the Price household but at least I got it done.

830PM: Easy recovery run on the TM.  I'm not accustomed to running the day after a long run, but I'm also not accustomed to running on Sunday.  My legs were heavier than I would have thought at the beginning but they began to loosen up toward the end.  Finished strong w/ the last mile a little slower than current MP.

2M easy warmup; 4M @ 7:24/mi; cooldown. I struggled a bit with this run.  I've been battling a head cold for about a week and the benadryl I've been taking has me kind of drowsy and out of it.  It didn't help that it was like 80 degrees inside the club.  I guess I could have run outside but I like that the TM helps keep me at my goal pace and doesn't allow you to slack off.

830PM:  Easy aerobic run. Overloaded on pizza for dinner so I was really dragging for about the first 2/3 of the run.  Finished strong w/ my last mile being my quickest so I could make it home to the safety of my own bathroom.

9PM:  Short recovery run on the TM.  Progressed to a decent pace but didn't push it in anticipation of tomorrow's long run.

Easy long run.  Out and back from barber park to Veterans Memorial Park. Lots of people out on the greenbelt getting ready from the racing season including those racing in the Basic 5 from Julia Davis Park. I was supposed to run a tempo in the middle of the run but I developed some soreness in the groin area and decided not to push it.  Don't know what I am going to do about it other than stretch.  May need to start seeing the chiro again to get me lined up.  Hope its not a form flaw thats causing it.
