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.

AM:  Easy. First run in over a week due to illness and a fishing trip. I thought my hammie would benefit more than it did.  It's still tight but my PF alleviated some.  Fall weather is definitely here.  Broke out the gloves on a chilly morning in the 40's but it felt really nice once I warmed up.

1230PM: Lunchtime out and back run on GB from Ann Morrison Park: 1M warm; 3M @ 7:01 mpm; 2M cool.  Perfect temps and weather for a run, especially for mid-October.

Picked Court up at his house and we drove to the finish line/shuttle bus pickup at Bronco Stadium.  This race has become a staple of my fall running calendar. I really enjoy it. It's grown in popularity each year that I've run it. Weather was near perfect w/ temps in the 50's at the start w/ no wind and sunshine. 

They finally got wise and went to a wave start which helped alleviate some of the congestion problems that arise when all of the runners attempt to vie for space on the Boise Greenbelt.  Not unhappy w/ my time. Didn't run at all last week and I've really been eating poorly which has led to me to put on about 10 lbs in just a few weeks. Consequently, I knew that I'd have to temper my expectations and just run smooth and easy. I thought I could do something in the 42's but that turned out to be too ambitious.  Went out too fast in the first mile (6:34) but after that I settled into a more comfortable pace at or near 7:05 and held it pretty much throughout.  Court ran great and missed his sub 40 min goal by just a couple of seconds. This is probably my last race for 2011.
