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.

645AM: 4M easy; Woke up this morning to a pretty steady rain so I opted for the TM at the Idaho Athletic Club.  It's nice to have that as an option but I was hoping to put off the indoor running until November.

630AM:  A very slow 5.4M run on a chilly morning. My legs felt really heavy- which I guess is not at all surprising given the cold weather.  Still, I'd much prefer battling the cold temps v. running on a treadmill.  I think the balance tips in favor of TM running once the temp hits the teens.  Thankfully, we're not there yet.  Need to get in a couple of two-a-days because I'm headed to Eastern Idaho on Wed evening for my annual October sojourn to my buddy's cabin on Henry's Lake.  We usually try to fish the Park but this year we're changing things up and floating the So Fork Snake and the Madison.
