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: LT workout: 10M- 2M+ warm; 5M progressive (7:30, 7:22, 7:13, 7:05, 6:58 last half mile); 2M+ cool.  Worked into the pace this time rather than putting the pedal down and going right to 7:10 pace. It felt more comfortable to do it this way but still enough to get the HR to top out near 168ish bpm.

530AM: Easy Medium Long Run. Did the first half outside and the second half on the TM. Didn't plan to do it that way but I looked at the radar and a large mass of rain/snow was approaching and didn't want to get outside. As it turned out, the precip held off and still hasn't hit as of this writing(9AM). Got a hectic schedule this week that may infringe on my workout schedule: T-Ball practices, a funeral in Montpelier, ID and then driving to Mesa, AZ on Saturday-Sunday for Spring Break.

6AM: Super slow easy recovery run. Much warmer this morrning but it was tempered by a stiff breeze. Pretty tired these days. Need to get to bed earlier.

Easy Long Run. Had to get this one before all the traveling begins. Perfect temps and sunny but the wind was brisk, at east for half the run. Heading to Montpelier, ID and AZ. Running will be a tight squeeze in my upcoming itinerary but I'll try to make it work.

6AM: squeezed in a mediumish long run before my niece's baptism and a full day of travel. Staying in Ely, NV tonight. The long road beckons.
