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.

A beautiful evening for a run outside.  Temp near 80 degrees at 8pm.  Still pretty sore from Saturday's Eco Challenge Run.  I loosened up around mile 4 and was able to finish strong w/ the last mile being our quickest.  Martin had to sprint at the end to get braggin rights.

645AM: Quick turnaround 4M morning run.  I thought last night's run would loosen me up a bit but it seems to have had the opposite effect.  My ankle is cranky after running around with the kids in the yard yesterday.  Kept it really slow and hope to get another run in this evening. 

845PM: Short, easy 3.28M TM run.  Didn't have much time before my wife had to meet up w/ her girlfriend for their run.  Quads, calves and my left ankle still really sore.  More ice and a NSAID.

645AM:  Tweeked my ankle playing volleyball last night.  Feels a little better this morning but not great.  4.2M really easy w/ tired legs and a sore ankle.  Get a plane for Portland this afternoon.  Will try to get another un in this evening. 

930PM: 4.8M at moderate pace w/ some quicker pickups on a hotel TM in Portland, OR.  I'll be in mediation all day tomorrow and travelling home late so I probably won't have time tomorrow for any workouts.
