"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: Easy late night run. Dropped the truck off at the mechanic so they could get started early on fixing my AC. I've gone 1 1/2 summers w/o it and this week's forecast finally forced my hand. |

| | 930PM: HOT! Record high of 108 today, 97 when I left the house. Didn't feel that bad once the sun went below the horizon. Still, I'm gonna try to get back to running early mornings again. I like getting at least one run in before work to minimize the risk of my "habit" being derailed at some point during the day. |

| | 630AM: 2M warm; 5M @ slow MP. Fires/smoke to the east provided "cloud cover" and made the sunrise rather eerie. Very warm for this early, mid 70s. Today's audiobook tidbit from 'Running with the Kenyans': In 1975, US runners ran 34 sub 2:20 marathons. In 2005, with all the benefit of better training and nutrition as well as increased monetary incentives, US runners ran 22 sub 2:20 marathons. The US isn't treading water in distance running, it's going backwards. |

| | 615AM: Another smoky morning w/ the fires still burning to the east. While this makes for a very cool sunrise it is not conducive to breathing. Something that I find to be an indispensable part of running and, more generally, life. Easy pace w/ 10 x 20 sec strides over the last 2.5M. I have been confronted by a rogue gaggle of geese lately. Yesterday, 3 or 4 of them tried to force me off the canal path- charging at me w/ heads lowered and hissing. I thought I might teach them a lesson this morning but instead I chose another route. I'm a coward. |

| | 615AM: Barely made it out of bed. I'm working on very little sleep these days. HR never got above 130. Left hamstring is very tight. It's been cranky for awhile now so I decided to forego the Fit 4 Life Half that I had planned for Saturday. Better to build up my base mileage and get healthy. |
