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.

I was really hesitant about tonight's workout.  The stomach flu seem to be threatening a comeback all day.  I felt nauseous and dizzy but all that disappeared a short time into the run.  1M warmup and then I picked it up a little in miles 2 and 3.  Slowed halfway through mile 4 after a monster sideache hit me.  Not a bad run considering.  8:36/mi overall pace.

Late evening run.  Pretty nice out right now.  A little on the humid side actually which is a welcome change from this abnormally cold spring.  Took me awhile to get warmed up but finished off the run with the last 3M+ under 8:15/mi pace.  Ankle pain is back.  So much for the respite doing it some good.

Lebanon, OR: Traveled to parents house to help them pack up and move to Boise.  It rained all day today but I picked out a one hour window w/ no rain.  Ran down to the Santiam R. to see what it looked like in case we could get in a float tomorrow for some steelhead- completely blown out.  Damn!  Went from there to downtown Lebanon.  Not nearly as dangerous as the Middle East version.  Plenty of meth heads but no terrorists. I've never lived here and can't say that I'll have a reason to come back.  So long Lebanon, OR, I hardly knew ye.
