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.

Race: Idaho Peace Officers Memorial Fun Run (6.2 Miles) 00:48:07, Place overall: 5, Place in age division: 2
Total Distance

My first 10k; I was more or less pleased with my overall pace, 7:44; I didn't come all that prepared in terms of adequate hydration;  also, there was a nice ceremony before the start to honor all of Idaho's peace officers that have fallen in the line of duty, very nice; however, the race started immediately after the ceremony and by that time I had begun to stiffen up a bit;  race was well organized with a 5k loop; chip timing; two aid stations had water only;  police controlled traffic; nice t-shirt and post-race potato bar/cake and awards ceremony; this is a quality event that has grown somewhat (4th year) but needs to be supported even more by the community (only 150 participants);  relatively few spectators except at the finish line;  weather was sunny and near 60 degrees w/ light wind.
