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.

630AM: 7.64 miles easy; I was going to run last night but the wife pulled a fast one and scuttled my plans; oh well, I could use more rest anyway; I'm feeling better but the lower portion of my calves are still really tight; this is officially the longest post-marathon recovery period I've experienced to date; I'm almost there but still really sore in the left heel/ankle area w/ increasing soreness in the lower calf area as I run; weather was nice this morning (high 60's) but the forecast is for decreasing temps and rain throughout the week; I guess its October already and its about time for summer to disappear.

830PM:  Easy run; comfortable w/ temps in the low 50's; I think I'm nearly fully recovered now; no leg soreness to speak of but still some soreness in my left ankle and heel; I may need to get an MRI on this ankle eventually b/c it has been nearly a year since my high ankle sprain but unfortunately BC of Idaho contributes almost nothing for an MRI.

845PM:  Easy run tonight; I'm home alone for the past couple of days so I'm under no time constraints w/ my runs; its been nice to run in the evening now that the mornings have gotten really cool; today I learned that my bro-in-law's brother died of a massive heart attack during his nightly run; just collapsed on the side of the road and never got up; he was only 40 yoa and seemed very fit; he left behind 4 kids between the ages of 7 and 16, very sad.

145PM: Short run @ just under marathon pace; needed to get home to do some errands before the wife and kids return from OR; very windy and looking like it wants to rain; not what I was hoping for BSU's homecoming game v UC Davis this evening.
