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.

7AM:  A day late due to my wife's schedule but I finished off my long runs with a nice 20 miler.  Tried to work in a few hills but settled upon an out and back run from Ann Morrisson Park to just short of Lucky Peak Dam.  The first half is a gradual uphill climb w/ a strong headwind once you pass Barber Park.  Kept it even paced during the first half @ around 8:35/mi and picked it up w/ some faster miles on the way back.  Overall pace = 8:24/mi.  Slowed down the last 3 miles due to a toenail that was digging into an adjacent toe.  Bled right through my shoe.  Time to trim the nails and start the taper.

9PM:  Easy run.  Legs felt great but kept the pace comfortable and concentrated on form.  Returned home just in time to see Garrett Hartley throw a frisbee...errrrr....kick a game winning field goal as time expired. It looked like a Phil Niekro knuckler.  I thought for sure that thing was blocked.

9AM:  Travel day yesterday so I didn't get out.  Stayed in Pocatello last night.  Ran an out and back from the hotel off Pocatello Cr. Rd.  Lots of good hills in this area.  Kept the pace comfortable and easy.  8:29/mi pace overall.  Travelling to St. Anthony later today and back home tomorrow.

7AM:  Idaho Falls, ID-  Quick run before we leave town and head back to Boise.  Ran the Greenbelt around the Snake River from my hotel across the river from the IF LDS Temple. Very scenic.  Saw a couple of fish rising and wished I brought my flyrod.  8:22/mi pace overall.

930PM:  Short tempo run; 1m warmup; 5m @ 7:26/mi pace; cooldown.  I ate a bunch of peanut M&M's before heading which probably wasn't the greatest idea.  Felt a little nauseous but my legs felt strong.  Again, concentrated on good form w/ greater range of motion in what I call the "backswing" and a strong push-off. 

Probably no workout tomorrow.  Getting up early to head down to Bronco Stadium for College Gameday followed by the home opener v. the Oregon State Beavers.  Gonna be rockin' in Boise tomorrow.  With CGD present, probably be louder than last year's home opener v. the Ducks.
