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.

Last long run on the green belt. Went relatively smoothly but for one pit stop. I'm not in as good a shape as I'd hoped but running this marathon more or less to prove to myself that I still can, to get back into the game sorta speak. It's been a long hard road to get back even to where I'm at. I'll run this marathon and it might even be the slowest marathon I've ever run but I think it'll be the most satisfying.
