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: Lactate Threshold Run: 2M warm; 3.5M @ 7:10/mi; cool. This is a makeup run from the one I missed last week. I think there's a reason why Pfitz doesn't schedule a LT or VO2 max workout 36 hrs after a 20 miler because my legs were still a little sore.  I powered through most of it, the plan called for 4M @ 15k to HM pace.  I don't really know where my current fitness, much less my LT, is due to the extra weight I'm carrying and the fact that it has been so long since I've finished a 5k race.  I'm hopeful that I'll be back to where I was last summer in another 3-5 wks of training.  This will give me another 8 weeks to make marginal improvement.

530AM: Another really slow run. Avg HR was 136 bpm. Resting HR before I started was 42 bpm. This is not unusual for me. I've seen it as low as 38-40 bpm first thing in the morning. Very mild temps (mid 50's). I was actually able to run in shorts.  Not liking this daylight savings thing.  Just when it was starting to get light out in the morning we lose an hour.
