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.

9PM: easy run. No aches, no pains. Nearly attacked by a German shepherd that bolted from an open garage. I saw him running at me and just held my ground til the owner caught up and chased him away. The wife just stood by and said nothing. She's the same gal who likes to walk the animal off leash on our subdivision's walking/running path.

630AM: Slow marathon pace run. Last mile at goal MP (7:25/mi).

Noon: Back on the MR Foothill Trails. Very mild temps, 70's, and cloud cover. Great day for running some trails. Lots of good climbing and downhill. Hips and hammie were tight at the outset but loosened up after a mile or two. Feel pretty good right now and encouraged by my HR going uphill. I wasn't pushing it but its nice to be able to climb relatively steep sections and not redline.

2PM: 90+ degrees. 10+ miles on the Boise Foothils trail system. A lot of fun except for the mt bikers who consistently don't yield. It was so hot that my iPhone shut down due to the temperature. It's only ever done that when I leave it on the dash of my car. Not a long run but good heat and hill training for SGM. 1500' vertical.
