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.

Included some faster miles. Faster being relative. Still 1 min/mi slower than my typical easy pace. I've also started doing some specific running drills to improve the efficiency of my stride (buttkicks, high knees, etc.).

Lunch: Easy run w/ David from Muni Park. Comfortable temps and nice breeze but still a little tired from last night's run and less than mediocre sleep.

8PM: First double digit mile long run. Felt great, no issues. Weather was perfect, near 70. Ran :30 sec/mi faster than my typical easy pace. Getting there, week by week. Starting a more formal training plan. 16 weeks left until SGM.
