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.

620AM:  Recovery run.  Started out slow and then transitioned quickly into a pretty good run on a very cool morning.  8:23/mi pace overall but I was able to finish the last 3M at 8:06/mi, 7:59/mi and 7:53/mi respectively.

630AM:  Easy run.  Really took it easy (8:33/mi).  Didn't sleep well last night- again.  I had planned on going 9M but I took a shortcut home rather then wait for traffic to clear so I could cross Eagle Rd.

1245PM: Easy run on a hot afternoon on the GB; my alarm didn't go off because we lost power yesterday afternoon and had to reset my alarm clock before bed.  I reset it 10am when it was 10pm.  I'm such an idiot.  On the upside, I got a really good night's sleep.  Kept it slow and easy (very tempted to run and jump in the Boise R. it was so hot) until the last mile @ goal marathon pace + 15 secs.

615AM:  Speed workout this morning.  Headed over the MVHS track for some mile repeats.  2+ miles warmup en route to track; 1M @ 6:38; .5M jog; 1M @ 6:48; .5M jog; 1M @ 6:59; 2+ miles cooldown back home.  Very breezy this morning so 200M against a stiff wind and 200M with a nice tailwind.  A little dry heaving following the last repeat.  It's a good thing I didn't eat anything this morning.

615AM:  Very cool again this morning.  Supposed to have a 30 degree cooldown over the weekend.  I felt really good this morning, better than I've felt in a long time.  Started slow and finished strong w/ a 7:39/mi pace over the last mile and change.  8:16/mi pace overall.

8PM:  Another good run despite windy conditions.  Headwind on the way back home but I was still able to work through it and finish with the last mile plus @ 7:40/mi pace.  All part of my training plan to finish all off my longer runs at or near marathon race pace.
