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 + pickups. Life is getting busier and I'm struggling to fit my running into it. Hopefully, things slow down soon.

9PM: Cool evening run. Had to return to the house and get a vest to put over my long sleeve. Felt like fall already but I hear its supposed to warm back up. Tripped over a curb in the dark and went face first into the sidewalk. Put my hands out to save me from eating some concrete so their chewed up, along w/ left elbow. Hazards of running at night. Could've been much worse.

9PM: Cool evening run. Lots going on. My friend Matt came to town on Wednesday and we did what we always do when he's in town, we went fishing. On Friday night I forgot that my 2 youngest had movie night at their elementary so I was roped into that. Saturday was even busier. I'll have to get my long run in on Monday after work.
