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: Easy out and back lunchtime run on the GB from AM Park to VM Park. Couldn't get up this morning. I'll try again tomorrow.

Late evening: Very windy. Easy + 2.5 miles at a quicker pace. My training schedule says marathon pace but since I have no idea what that is right now I just ran about 1 min/mi quicker than easy pace into a headwind most of the time. Felt good to stretch it out and run a little quicker even if it's still really slow.

Easy run. Super tired but I got through it. Passed a group of teenagers in full camo w/ air soft guns on the out and back. I sped up a little and ran zig zag pattern each time I passed them. :)

9PM: Medium Long Run: Was supposed to go 12 mi but I had a long day on my feet and in the sun so I cut it short. Disappointed but wasn't getting much out of it anyway. Need to concentrate on getting better rest and fueling better.
