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: A little bit warmer this morning.  Didn't even need a hat.  Easy, slow and even pace. Unlike the past week, I felt like I could step it up a bit but I resisted the urge.  I hope that same spring in my legs is still there on Wednesday for my planned tempo run. Big day today, got a meeting this morning in one of my more contentious cases and a job interview in the afternoon.

615AM: Another Tuesday.  Met Court on the Cloverdale I-84 Overpass.  It was so windy that being blown off the bridge onto I-84 seemed like a very real possibility.  Ran with Court for a couple of miles until a light rain which had started toward the middle of the run threatened to turn into a downpour.  The route home was straight into the wind and rain.  Rain let up as soon as I got home and it looks like it will be a nice fall day. Figures.

645AM:  Late start this morning.  No rain, which was good.  As I feared, my legs weren't into running a quick tempo run.  Maybe I'll try again tomorrow?

625AM: Short easy run. Had to cut it shorter than usual because I needed to get to work earlier.  Today is also my 15th anniversary.  Hard to believe my wife hasn't come to her senses by now.

630AM: Easy pace. Weather is starting to turn colder, you can feel it in the air. I'm hoping it doesn't turn to bad. Big BSU home game tonight in Bronco Stadium. Need to locate the ski pants. They're calling for a 70% chance of snow by the second half. Planning on a long run tomorrow morning. Could be interesting.
