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.

Tried a new route today; its all sidewalks for a change but google maps hasn't included the rather new overpass in its inventory (I-84 Locust Grove) so I had to do two separate maps; pulled something on the outside of my right knee around mile 6; I think its my IT band because its sore on the outside where the IT band connects to the knee; I'm icing it as I type this; I've neglected my foam roller for weeks now so this is a not so subtle reminder to get back on that program; slow easy pace around 8:30 to 9 min per

Speed work: 1600m on the local HS track at 7 min pace followed by 800m jog then 800 m at 7:50 pace followed by 800m jog; 1.8 mile warm-up before and 2.5 mile cooldown run back home; legs feel a bit sluggish still even w/ a day off yesterday; I'm still running at my normal pace if not faster but my legs feel heavy; started refueling tonight w/ peanut butter toasted muffin after the run; we'll see if that helps; need to improve my diet; the wife is buying a LOT of candy these days for the kiddies and I can't help myself

Easy long run this morning at 9:04 pace; right knee still bothersome; not to the point where I can't run but its the only thing holding me back from feeling really good; right calf has loosened up so I basically traded that for a sore knee
