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: 5.5 hrs of sleep. Transitioning back to morning runs. It'll take me at least a week before I'm fully accustomed and no longer sleepwalking.

Yep. Already paid for hotel. I'm more or less just trying to get back in the game. Not racing for time, just to finish w/o injury.

Sleeprunning does make the miles fly by...
