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.

630AM:  First post-marathon workout. Slow and easy. Some mild quad and hamstring soreness but nothing too serious.  Looking for a late fall/winter flat and fast marathon to erase the stink of Pocatello.  Thinking about either Tri-Cities on 10/30 or CIM on 12/4. Not sure yet if I can make either of those work within my current schedule.

630AM:  Another slow and easy run. Slightly better pace and turnover this morning. Residual soreness is nearly gone.  I'll take it relatively easy the rest of this week and then get right back into it next week.

Noon: Easy lunchtime run on the greenbelt from Ann Morrison Park to Willow Lane and back. Sunny w/ temp in 80's.  Hammie soreness is back. Been using the foam roller every night but I probably need a good massage to work it out properly.

10AM:  General aerobic run w/ some short strides.  Extended it a little bit but legs are still not fully recovered so I didn't push it.  Taking tomorrow off then I'll start to build the mileage back up next week.
