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.

Clearwater, Sand Key, FL:  A couple of easy runs before and after training. Great view of both the sunrise and sunset as I nearly the whole length of Sand Key just to the east of Clearwater.  White sandy beaches that were some of the cleanest that I've ever seen.  Beaches looked like a well-groomed ski run.  Temp in 80's w/ a slight breeze that I had at my back on the way home.  Nice.

Clearwater Beach, FL: Very tired today.  Weird chirping noise from the AC in my hotel room.  Took a nap after training today.  Woke up and ran from my hotel to the waterfront mansions of Belleair Beach (straight out of Scarface) and back. Easy pace.  Obviously, the humidity here is something to contend with.  I'm literally drenched by the time I get back to my hotel.  The lowlight of my run was a little 'hole-in-the-wall' restaurant w/ an outdoor bandstand.  Heard a few sec's of a horrible rendition of Pearl Jam's "Daughter" that actually made me embarrassed for the guy singing.  He seemed to be impressed with his performance  though.  Good for him.

Clearwater Beach, FL:  Got out of training earlier today and went for a run in the middle of the afternoon- big mistake.  Temp was near 90 and the humidity made it feel like I was running underwater.  Found some neat trails to run on at Sand Key Park though.  Today was supposed to include some speed training but the heat, humidity, and the climb up a 100 ft high bridge separating Clearwater Beach from Sand Key killed that.  Ended up with a couple of faster miles and 4+ easy miles.  Jumped into the pool and jacuzzi as soon as I got back.

Wanted to run outside but it was raining this afternoon.  6+ miles on the TM.  Started slow and ended at around 8:00/mi pace.
