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.

10PM:  Intermediate long run on my birthday.  Sunday is usually my rest day but we'll be driving to Lincoln City, OR all day tomorrow so I don't know if I'll get a run in tomorrow evening.  October is sneaking up on me and its really past time to get serious about training for St. George.  Need to focus on diet and weekly long runs.  Looking forward to some runs along the beach this week.  Should be fun.

10AM- Beverly Beach State Park, Depoe Bay, OR- Started out as an epic run on the beach during low tide & the marine layer wearing off. That is until I forgot myself & tried to jump over a creek & came down wrong with all my weight on my bad left ankle. Limped back to our yurt, more than a little pissed that I had needlessly injured myself seriously. Going to the store for some icepacks. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Beverly Beach, Depoe Bay, OR- Ankle felt a little better & I was anxious to test it. I was really worried it was more serious injured this time. Two days off brought down the swelling & I was able to run a decent pace on the sand so long as I stayed out of the softer sand &the rocks. Could have gone longer but the tide was comin in & it was threatening to cut off my route home. Warm/5.5 mi @ 8:24/cool.
