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.

Noon: Loop run on the GB from AM Park to Warm Springs GC. Best run since my surgery. Progressively faster w/ the last 2 miles sub 9:00/mi. That seems silly even as I type it but its a long way from where I was. I actually felt like I was running. We'll see how my body responds tomorrow.

630AM: Got in a run before work. This is incredibly difficult for me these days. The mornings are when my pain is the greatest because I've usually gone 12 hours w/o medication. Need to ween myself off of the pain meds but its proved to be more difficult than I could have ever imagined. As hard as the recovery from back surgery has been, this fight is equally, if not more, difficult.

Noon: This was supposed to be another easy basebuilding run but it turned frantic. Tried to make it to the Willow Lane bathrooms on the GB but ended up diving into the trees about a 1/4 mile away. I was able to go over an embankment so I'm pretty sure nobody got a free look. Always an adventure these days.
