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.

Slow miles. Trying to gradually increase mileage & frequency to rebuild my base. The goal is to shed some excess lbs & obviously avoid re-injury. Speedwork/tempos/hills are a ways off, probably next month once my easy pace drops at least 1:30/mile

Super windy evening. Wanted to go a bit further but duty called. The benefit and the curse of regular running, it keeps you regular.

Great night. Cards won. Kids played well in the field and at the plate. Quin went 2 for 3. Topped it off w/ an easy 5 miles on a near perfect evening.

Lunchtime run on the GB w/ David. Muni Park to WS Golf Course and back. Beautiful day. A little sore from last night's run. Need a good massage on left knee, ankle and back.

Easy evening run in the wind and light rain. My sweet little daughter (10 yo) won't let me run w/o her on non-school nights. So I bought her a pair of yellow/purple/pink Saucony Kinvara's that arrived today. You would have thought it was Christmas she was so excited. Good stuff.

Wanted to go further but it was a long day and my back was starting to tighten up. Playing it smart. I'm in it for the long haul.
