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.

Continuing the long, slow march back to good health.  Starting my New Year's resolution early by undergoing a sugar detox. Ran outside for the first time in weeks. These are definitely the dog days of winter w/ no chance of running in the daylight except for weekends.

Strength training + 30 min easy on TM.  Felt better today.

Interval run on the TM: alternating 10 min fast and 5 min slow.  This makes 3 days of running in a row! I was virtually pain free today so I was able to go a bit longer. Hopefully the new year will see me turn a corner in my health and fitness to get back to where I was.

Last run of the year. Ran to the club for my usual weight training on my legs, ran 3M on the TM easy, then ran home. Feel like I've turned the corner on my health.  Looking forward to improving and enjoying running in 2012.
