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.

Forced myself to get out for a late evening run. Been recovering from flu all holiday weekend. What a great way to enjoy the 3 day weekend. Labored mightily. Legs felt very heavy. I feel better than I did 2 days ago but still weak.

As I said before, I think my gps watch is not accurate. I have a pretty good memory for how far my old routes were. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to fix my watch. If I wasn't so pre-occupied by numbers & stats it wouldn't bother me nearly as much.

First run in my new pair of Brooks Launch. So glad Brooks listened to its customers and began manufacturing the launch again. This is my 2nd pair and I have to say I like the new blue/yellow color combo better than the black. Fit and cushion is as good as I remembered.

Late night run. Started out very tired and finished strong. Might not get a run in on Friday as I'm currently in the waiting room waiting for my wife to come out of surgery. Hopeful that it will be routine and successful.

At the hospital all day w/ my wife. Surgery went as well as we could hope. Huge load of stress of my shoulders. Felt so good that I put the kids to bed and was able sneak away for a late night run. Had my mother in law on hand in case my wife needed anything while I was out.

Full week of running. Still going very slow. Man I wish I didn't let myself get so terribly out of shape. It'll probably take me another couple of months before I'm running my normal easy pace.
