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.

Ran w/ my son Martin outside; easy conversational pace; further than he's ever run before by at least a couple of miles; beautiful day, temp in the 60's w/ light wind; Overland to Five Mile down to Victory Rd and back home.  Lots of off-road running on Victory for the last 2+ miles as there is no paved shoulder on Victory Rd.

Ran to Kuna and back home; lots of rolling hills w/ one big one on Locust Grove and Amity; carried a water bottle w/ me; i'll never do that again; my shoulder's jacked up from holding it; planned on using my camel but it felt too weird to run in; didn't have any gels or gatorade; too long of a run w/o some fuel source; lots of loose shoulder running; overall not a bad experience but I'm learning what works for these longer runs; overall 9:12 pace felt much quicker.
