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.

A nice little run in the rain; it took about 3 miles before my lungs cleared out the phlegm from this cold that just won't go away and my legs decided to join the party; last 3 miles were 7:15 pace; overall 7:58 pace

4 easy miles before work; very windy; broke out the Reebok warmup I got on closeout for 25 bucks- very nice; last 2 runs I've switched back to the Nike Moto Max 5 to see if my foot soreness was associated with my Asics Gel Cumulus; no foot soreness so far.

T/M: 4.35 more miles in the evening before bed; raining pretty hard so I had to visit the Id Athletic Club; treadmill running has become more and more tiresome; I find that I can't do much more than 4 or 5 miles without putting a gun to my head; 8:22 overall pace w/ .5 incline

Super slow easy run tis evening w/ my son leading the way; lots of walking breaksbut I was glad he didn't quit; he had soccer practice immediately prior so he was exhausted; felt good to be able to run and carry a conversation the whole way

Camping this weekend w/ the family; hiked up the South Fork of the Boise Canyon wall w/ my 12 yr old just downstream of Cow Creek Bridge; extremely steep and it was hot; my son hugged the earth most of the way up and down but he stuck w/ it and made it to the top
