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.

Marathon #11 is in the books. It was my slowest one to date but thoroughly satisfying. Those who know me best know what I went through & had to overcome just to toe the starting line today. Sharing it w/ loved ones gives it even more meaning & makes it a life worth living. Blessed.
