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.

AM:  5.45 easy, slow miles before work.  I was attacked by a goose defending his/her chicks while running down a dirt path next to the canal by my house.  There was really no way to go around them so I just turned around and tried another route.  I looked around to see if there were any witnesses/people laughing at what a big p@#*y I am to get bullied by a bird. 

Lunch:  4.61 easy miles at lunch.  Ran by Bronco Stadium and saw the players getting their summer "workouts" in.  The NCAA doesn't allow the coaches to participate in these "voluntary" workouts and it didn't look very organized to me.  Maybe I just caught them at a bad time though?

AM: 1M warmup; 4.6M Tempo Run @ 7:47/mi pace; .75M cooldown. I was supposed to go 5M but I had to stop to puke.  Luckily, I had nothing in my stomach to expel as I didn't eat anything prior to the workout.  Four or five dry heaves and it was over.  That's the first time I've puked while running since high school football. :) 

Lunch: 3.72 easy miles to get my 10M for the day.

Easy mid-evening run; arms and legs are a bit sore from dodgeball last night; I think that right there is the very definition of "oldness." (is that even a word?)

Lunch: Slow, easy run in nice conditions (high 60's, mostly cloudy, light wind).  Passed BSU Coach Peterson going the other way on the GB near Warm Springs GC.  He had his shirt off and the dude is cut up.  Man crush????

Slow, easy early morning run.  I really struggled to finish this one off.  Legs were heavy and my motivation was severely lacking.
