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.

8PM: Easy TM run.  A couple days off recharged my battery.  Hopefully, the planets willl align and allow for 5 days of running this week.  I'm getting over the sore throat and cough so I should be good to go.

1230PM: Easy run on the GB.  Very mild temps (low 60's) today w/ a stiff breeze.  Going out was tough but running the back portion was relaxing.  Looks like this may be one of the last mild temperature days for a couple of month.  Cold front due to arrive this evening bringing some precip.

9PM: Easy TM run.  Started off really slow and sort of worked into it.  I could have gone longer but 6M seems to be the limit of my tolerance.

1230PM: Got outside on a pretty nice day for running (temp in the mid 40's).  Slight tailwind on the way out and a stronger headwind on the way back.  Four days in a row now.  Starting to the train back on the tracks.

630AM: Finally made it out of bed for an early morning TM run at the club.  Its so nice getting my workout in before work and having that off my plate.  My job isn't stressful at all but it has its moments and the family life w/ four kids creates time constraints.  I'm gonna try to make this a routine at least through the winter.  The big news is that I'm back to five days a week and going for six tomorrow.

1PM: Easy run this afternoon.  Really enjoyed the beautiful weather.  Bright sunshine w/ a cool breeze, temp in the low 40's.  Went w/ the running shorts and I was just fine although I could have used some gloves.  My hands were freezing, especially when I was running into the wind.  Six days of running this week.  Haven't done that in awhile.
