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.

1230PM: Easy to moderate run from Muni Park along BC River Trail. Much cooler temps this week. Beautiful day to get back into running. Hammie and hips are sore from the backpacking the last 4 days. This is a make or break week in terms of training. I can't hope to PR at SGM unless I ramp my mileage back up and stay focused in my training and at the dinner table. The wife has gone gluten free w/ good results so far but I just can't seem to pull the trigger.

9PM: Easy run. Doubles the rest of this week.

1230PM: Easy run. Muni Park to Barber Park. Overcast w/ cooler temps. Very nice run but for the stomach ache. No double tonight due to BSU v. Mich State on ESPN.

Noon: Sunny, 80 degrees. Medium long run. 5.5M at goal MP. Felt very nauseous but hammie didn't bother me for a change- a very nice development.
