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.

830PM: Warm day; had an upset stomach from the get-go which caused 2 potty breaks, the 2nd one I almost didn't make; haven't had a close call like that in years so maybe that's a good sign?

Warm, 3 x 2000m intervals w/ 3 min rest, cool.

10PM: Late evening easy run to start off July. Very hot so I waited for sun to go down. Shooting for 200+ miles this month. This is in line with the 20%ish increase per month since I began running again in late April. The plan is to get up to 250-270 miles in September (60+mpw) right before the marathon

930PM: Easy medium long run on a hot & windless evening. These midweek longer runs really build my aerobic base. The speed will lag and come little by little w/ every lb. I lose and interval I complete.

Noon: Short GB run w/ Dave from Muni Park. Super hot out this afternoon. Felt a little queezy til we crossed over to the north side of the river. Think I might be done w/ these midday lunchtime runs until September.

1030PM:,Spent the evening at my bro's for a BBQ and fireworks. Highlight of the evening was 1 of a string of m-80s shot out and landed underneath my moms lawn chair, she barely reacted. Brought my running clothes and ran home after a day of sun and gluttony. It was enjoyable however. Ran down Cloverdale w/ no ear buds and just watched the airal fireworks go to east west and south. List of people visiting Nevada and/or Fat City just outside of city limits.
