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.

6AM: Easy run. Getting back into the groove. I think the trail running and hiking on Saturday aggravated my left piriformis again. I just can't seem to get rid of it. It's like herpes, always lying in wait.  

1230PM: Easy run on the Bethine Church Trail at lunch. Very warm, near 80.

615AM: Easy + speed: 1600M @ 6:35; 1200 @ 5:03; 800 @ 3:20; & 400M @ 1:35. I just sort of fell into this workout. The gates weren't locked at the track and I hadn't done any speed workouts since the 10k on June 23rd. Didn't really put out an honest effort. I was more focused on breaking up the monotony of easy running. Mission accomplished.

830AM: Easy run. Got to sleep in on this our nation's pretend b-day (Declaration wasn't signed until August 2nd). Felt great to run in the sunshine and not have to go to work right after. Now it's time for some artery clogging sustenance and later on we'll blow a bunch of stuff up. Go America!

615AM: Easy run. Extremely fatigued this morning. Had a late night of fireworks and slept horribly.  

NOON: Hill Workout. Military Reserve Trails. Same trail as last week, only I was feeling a lot more lethargic. Worked through a stiff wind that seemed to turn around and hit me in the face on the way out and back. The trend seems to be a lot more wind this year than most years.

630AM: Easy run. Very warm this morning, 70+ degrees. Temps climbing into the triple digits this weekend and into next week should make tomorrow's long run interesting. Still better than running in the dark and cold during the winter.

930PM: Easy Medium Long Run. High today of 100. Temp in the upper 80's but didn't feel that hot once the sun went down. Been a while since I've run in the evening. Got a nice long nap this afternoon so my legs felt very energetic and springy.
