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.

930PM: Had a weekend that started well but ended w/ me in bed w/ the cold sweats. Stayed in bed most of Sat, Sun, and Mon but finally felt guilty enough to drag myself outta bed to hit the road again. Hydrated like crazy and was able to do some light intervals 2x (4 x 800m). Hopefully the worst is behind me.

930PM: easy run on a hot and humid evening. It's only gonna get hotter. I'm probably not going to run Fit for a life on Saturday. I thought I'd be ready by now but I'm just too heavy and slow for it to do much, if any, good. I'll just keep putting in the miles and hopefully I'll be in race shape by late August/early September.

930PM: medium long run. Hit the Bear Creek Hill midway thru. Finally getting back to normal post-flu and I get a cold sore for the first time in forever. Ugh, worst thing ever!

930PM: Still unbelievably hot. Drank plenty of water but my calves were still on fire and cramping the last 4-5 miles. Probably shoulda raced today like I planned but didn't wanna waste $ on a horrible time because I'm still 30+ lbs over my normal racing weight, but dropping steadily.
