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.

6PM: Wow, it's been a busy weekend+ in the Price household. I can't be sure but I think we've either attended or hosted every single event that's taken place in SW Idaho the last 3 days. 

I finally told the wife that I needed to get a long run in. Left right after work for the greenbelt. The first 1.5 miles were horrible because I had inadvertently pulled the lacing system too tight on my Hoka's. Once I loosened them it was easy and pleasurable until mile 13 when I just ran out of fuel. I hadn't brought anything to eat so it was to be expected. 

My wife's sister and her 6 kids are at the house this week so running will be a challenge. It's either risk pizzing the wife off or miss some training. I'll have to pick my spots carefully. Maybe I'll actually get up early in the morning.......nah, who am I kidding? I'll never do that. That would make too much sense.

930PM: Snuck away from yet another family event we were hosting at the house. The BBQ was long over with but my wife's family really loves to linger. I've decided I'm not going to let that come between me and my running schedule. I quietly slipped away for an easy run that turned nasty when massive lightning bolts and a sheet of rain started up when I was about a mile from home. Had planned to go 8 mi but caution and a shortcut seemed like the better option.

1030PM: Coaxed my wife to finally leave here sister in law's house where we had dinner so I'd have enough for a short midnight run. If things don't settle down soon I may lose it. This just heightens the rationale for running in the morning. Nobody schedules BBQs, reunions, dinners, etc. at 6am in the morning.
