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.

I usually try to rest on Sundays but I was camping all weekend and I was feeling a little bit edgy after not running since early Thursday; legs felt strong; I had to stop for traffic numerous times but my overall pace was still decent for me- 8:26; returned to the Asics gel with no foot soreness; looks like my experiment didn't work after all [/shrug]

Eagle Road to Lake Hazel to Cloverdale and home; lots of gravel shoulder running and dodging sprinklers; slight pull in right quad but other than that I felt real strong; started out real slow @ 9 min pace and transitioned to sub 8 min pace for the last 3+ miles; 8:23 overall pace on Asics Gel Cumulus 10

Evening run w/ my son on his bike; 80 degrees w/ light breeze; I was glad to have my son carry some water for me; calves were really tight and my legs couldn't get loose for some reason; I probably need to stretch better in the future before I really pull a calf or a quad; On top of that, I got lost in surbubia hell in Tuscany Subdivision and another unfinished sub off of Amity just east of Locust Grove; challenging route up Meridian Road from the Overland intersection all the way to Amity which is entirely uphill; turned left on Amity and continued uphill until a good downhill near the Amity/Locust Grove Intersection which has a pretty good view of the Boise downtown landscape; the downhill grade sapped my legs even further and after that I began the lost in suburbia nightmare, LOL; 8:40 overall pace as best I can figure given all the backtracking I had to do while lost
