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: Another easy run. I really didn't think I would get this run in. I had some sort of intestinal flu over the weekend and I was throwing up yesterday.  Finished the run with no problems but I kept it even slower than usual. That was probably a good thing w/ all of the snow and ice on the sidewalks.

615AM: Rought night last night.  Woke up when hail started pelting my window.  Around 430am the power went out. That always wakes me up because I sleep w/ a fan in my room.  Not for the cooling but for the background noise.  When the fan stops spinning I stop sleeping.  The power came back on immediately but I never went back to sleep. 

Met up w/ Court on Cloverdale.  He keeps beating me over the bridge.  I actually got up earlier but I guess I was really dragging my feet getting ready to run in the snow that had fallen overnight. We got a couple of very wet and heavy inches of snow.  The kind that sticks to your shoe and weighs you down.  The temp was actually pretty nice which left me a little overdressed. At least I had the sense to wear a pair of wool socks over my running socks. This kept my feet mostly dry and warm until towards the end of the run.  Very slow pace, even slower than usual.

1230PM: Went to bed early last night and got the best night's sleep in ages. Alarm went off at 6am and I checked the temp which read single digits. Decided that today was a good day for a midday run.  I felt pretty good but it was a difficult run. A lot of ice on the sidewalks and rodeways which made it hard to pick a path or get into a rhythm.  I finished without falling down but there was plenty of slipping.  Weather is supposed to very cold until the weekend which will hopefully melt and then dry out the roads.

730PM: Still lots of ice out there.  Managed to avoid slipping and falling until I reached my driveway at the end of the run.  Heading for Reno tomorrow to see BSU v. Nevada.

Reno, NV: Squeezed in a decent treadmill run at the hotel in between the buffets and the indigestion over BSU's heartbreaking loss to Nevada late last night.
