Qualify for Boston Marathon. 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.

| | Tempo run on the TM. 2M warmup, 5M @ 7:27/mi pace; 1.5M cooldown. Got a horrible night's sleep last night. Up all night with a sick little boy. I really wanted to just hit the sack early this evening but once I got into the run I felt pretty good. Now its time to take some melatonin and crash. |

| | 830PM: Medium-long run. Very mild this evening. I was able to wear shorts, long sleeve and a light jacket. Still have some soreness in the hip/groin area, especially on the right side. Might have to visit the masseuse tomorrow, and maybe the chiro later on if that doesn't alleviate it. |

9PM: My regular Wednesday evening church commitments made me delay this run until late. The wife made some delicious chocolate-chip, pumpkin bread which, while extremely tasty, is not considered a "light" snack nor is it helping me in my quest to drop weight. I guess I shouldn't complain that my wife likes to bake and is such a great cook, but I will.
Easy progressive run on the TM that topped out at 8:00/mi pace for the last mile. |

1230PM: A really good midday run on the GB. The wind died down today. Temp in the 50's w/ the sun poking through here and there. It know its technically springtime but it still feels like its right on the cusp between winter and spring.
Out and back from Municipal Park headed east. Didn't push it but I did get some decent miles w/ an avg pace at just slower than current MP. Looking forward to another run this evening after watching some NCAA tourney basketball.
830PM: Easy aerobic run, 7.35M, on the TM. Nothing special, just something to get my weekly mileage up. |

| | 630AM: Short, easy aerobic TM run. I'll be snowboarding w/ my son and nephew after work so I wanted to get in a quick workout before work. The legs were slow to wake up after the morning and evening workouts yesterday. Big long-run workout planned for tomorrow- weather permitting. |

| | 2PM: Well this is a first, 20+ miles on a TM. Not really by choice, it was rainy and windy, but it really wasn't as bad as I feared. I was able to watch the entire Butler v. Florida Regional Final, including the OT. It was a great game made only better by the greatest play by play announcer in the business, Gus Johnson. Did get some weird looks from the folks at the club. I guess that's to be expected when you spend that much time on a TM drenched in sweat. I feel really good about this run precisely because I feel really good after this run- like I could have gone a bit longer. Maybe I'll decide to run an entire marathon on a TM someday?
