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: Easy, slow run. Three days off.  Friday was a travel day and I didn't get to my weekly long run on Saturday because life got in the way.  Much cooler than Florida, but its nice to be home. Sun came up during the last half of my run.  Nice to not have to finish my morning run in the dark.

6:15AM: Tuesdays with Court.  Met up near the Cloverdale overpass.  I had promised to meet him on the north side of the bridge but he beat me to the other side.  I'm gonna have to get up a little earlier next week.  It's just over 2 miles from my house which means I'd probably have to get up 15 mins earlier to be safe.  Sleep is precious, especially when I don't usually hit the pillow until around midgnight. Easy run.

630AM:  Easy run on a cold and rainy Wednesday.  I was supposed to do a tempo run but I just couldn't get into it.  I don't mind the cold, but the rain just saps every bit of my energy.

730PM: Easy, slow run.  Had the day off so I took advantage of the opp/y to catch up on some sleep.  Put the kids on the bus and went back to bed until my eyeballs fell out.  I needed it.  Still, I felt pretty sluggish.  Don't know if its the weather or the fact that I'm wearing twice the amount of clothing because of the weather.  Anyway, I was able to crank out some miles and remain consistent if not fast.

6PM:  Long, slow run in between college football games. Perfect temp for running, low 40's, and no wind.  Scary moment when I rolled my ankle on a stray pine cone that was on the sidewalk.  It ended up not being too serious and I'm actually encouraged that this means my ankle is getting stronger.  Now if I could just get rid of the plantar fascitis in my heel.
