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.

Easy run at 8:48 overall pace; some right achilles soreness; temp in the mid 80's; felt pretty good especially the first 6 miles; legs felt pretty heavy after mile 7 or 8; I have gained a couple of pounds from lax diet; making a concerted effort to clean out my system before the big day, 8/23.

Got up at a quarter to 6 this morning after not falling asleep until 1ish; probably should have stayed in bed but I knew I probably wouldn't have time after work today; cranky as hell today so I'll make this short; 7:55 pace run for 5 miles w/ warmup and cooldown

Easy run in the dark at 9:17 overall pace; felt a little nauseous from the vanilla ice cream I inhaled immediately before running....ooops; legs felt better at this slow pace; scheduling a massage and a chiro visit for early next week to get out all the kinks before the big day; T minus 9 days and counting!

Phasing down my long run w/ one week left; its a good thing too because I didn't get up this morning and by the time I finished the honey-do's it was 130 in the afternoon; temp was already approaching 90 and climbed to the mid-90's by the end of the run; felt really good w/ no aches or pains anywhere for a change; tired by mile 6 in the heat but that was not unexpected; 8:55 pace
