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.

930PM: Some wet snow yesterday and freezing temps overnight made running in the morning a no-go. Late hearing at work and a christmas party at home almost made me pack it in for the day. But I knew that I just had to get a run in whenever and however I could during the holidays.  You never know when things will come up so as soon as everyone left I grabbed Martin and we went for a nice easy run. Planned on going a bit longer but cut it short so I could save something for tomorrow morning. Still some ice snow on the sidewalks but another couple of days of above freezing temps and it should be gone.

930PM: Easy progressive run. Still a fair bit of ice on some of the sidewalks which is surprising since we've had a couple of days into the 40's. Martin joined me for the second day in a row. He's really in better shape then I am and I can see that he's holding himself back just to run w/ me. Even so, when we get to within one mile from home he starts to break away lest I decide to break into a sprint and beat him home. Tonight I messed w/ him a bit by letting him get in front and then turn off on another street so he wouldn't know where I was. As I expected, when our paths converged near home he was sprinting just in case. If he can transfer that competiveness to the track this spring he could do pretty well.

630AM: Easy run. Huge stomach ache forced me off my planned route and cut about a mile off my run. Gonna try to do another 5 miler tonight if there's time in between honey-do's and christmas shopping.

930AM: I knew it would be tough getting a run in tonight or tomorrow so I snuck out this morning. Beautiful day. Nice to be able to run in the sunlight for a change. On the way home I yelled at a couple of youngsters who were playing on the thin ice in the canal. They ignored me. I'm getting really old. Merry Christmas to all.
