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: Finally got back out after a week off. Big snowstorm and long hours at work made it impossible to get out until now.  I actually tried to run yesterday but there was so much black ice that I couldn't even make it to the corner.  This morning I only fell once but it could have been bad. Still a lot of sidewalks that haven't been cleared and the snow has turned to hard packed ice.  Gonna be a long winter.

630AM: I chose my path a little more wisely this morning, keeping to the main roads so as to avoid ice and snow as much I could.  This is the time of year that my eating habits get me into trouble. Seems like we always have some sort of treat lying around that I can't resist. Hoping to crank up my mileage in order to compensate.  Hopefully, the weather and family commitments will allow it.

630AM: Tweeked my bad ankle last night playing dodgeball. Still able to run but it was throbbing pretty good. Ice and ibruprofen have become a mainstay for me. One of these days I'm going to have to visit an orthopedist and see what my options are. It's been 2 years and it has yet to fully recover.
