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.

9 slow, easy miles at 8pm (75 degrees).   A couple of pickups @ 7:15 pace toward the end.  Nothing special, just building base. Avg HR= 153 bpm

AM:  5.5 easy miles; still pretty humid; developing soreness behind my left knee; I'll have to ice it and keep an eye on it.

Afternoon: 6M during lunch; planned on doing a speed workout but I scrapped it in the middle of my second speed mile; I felt really nauseous and came really close to throwing up; my mouth starting to water and I could tell that it was a matter of moments before I would hurl; jogged the rest of the way; probably a combo of higher than normal humidity, lack of proper hydration, and poor diet; I'll try again tomorrow.

Early AM long run.  It was supposed to be at a relaxed pace but, due to time constraints and low DTI, I had to hurry things up a bit which wasn't easy in the rain (intermittent drizzle and light rain).  Finished w/ an 8:15 pace (MP - 5 seconds).  Took a route clear out to Deer Flat Rd and back w/ a lot of rollers and small but steep climbs.
