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.

11am: 10 mile easy, recovery run on Labor/BSU v. Va Tech Game Day.  If you do 10 miles on a holiday do you get time and a half? 

A little nervous about the Broncos playing tight in the first quarter or so.  After that, I think they'll be fine.  Expectations are running uncomfortably high here in the Treasure Valley.  It's getting a little silly, really.  Go Broncos!!

6AM: Not much sleep after getting home late and browsing the chat boards following BSU's win v. Va Tech.  Ran the same course as yesterday about a couple of minutes faster.  Right hip is bothering me.  Feels like a sciatic nerve problem.  Need to stretch it out good tonight. 8:19/mi pace overall, 8:05 over last 4+ miles.

9PM:  A short, easy run b4 bed.  Did a half dozen quick strides to warm the legs up for tomorrow's long tempo run.  Slept in this morning b/c I needed it.  Right hip still sore.  Stretching has taken the edge off but its still kinda tight.  I'll roll it out good and hope its better tomorrow.

630AM:  Woke up late again.  I was supposed to do a long tempo run but settled for a shorter progressive run.  Started @ 9:00/mi and finished @ 8:03/mi. 

1230PM:  Lunchtime run in the Morris Hill area (4.81 mi).  Started slow (9:00/mi uphill) and finished fast (7:35/mi downhill).

6AM:  Cold morning w/ temps in the mid 40's.  Good tempo run: 1M warm, 8M @ 7:28/mi; cool.  This will be my last longish tempo run before race day.  I have some speedwork scheduled for next week and a couple of shorter tempo runs @ 15 secs/mi faster than goal race pace during my 2 week taper.

9AM:  Long run on Greenbelt.  Out and back from Glenwood Bridge.  Really strong run that I was able to finish off miles 15 and 16 @ 7:50/mi and then a cooldown.  8:20/mi pace overall.  One more long run next Saturday (20 mi.) and then its time to start the taper.  Hallelujah!
