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.

Unrelenting heat these past few days. Waited until 10pm and it was still 97 degrees. Today's high was 107. Hit every sprinkler I could and stopped in the park to get a drink out of the drinking fountain, twice.

10PM: Very hot still, 95 degrees. Back to back days are always hard for me to do now. Little stiff and sore this morning in lower back and left leg. I suppose it didn't help that I spent a couple of hours underneath the house checking the AC ducts. House has been a sauna last couple of days with this heat wave. I think I got things figured out and cooling properly now. Why doesn't anyone tell you that you should hose down the outside screens on your AC unit every couple of years? They were clogged and filthy. Should be a lot more efficient now.

Noon: A little cooler than earlier this week, only 85. Nice to get a run in before the fireworks.
