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:  Short tempo run; 1m warmup; 5m @ 7:26/mi pace; cooldown.  I ate a bunch of peanut M&M's before heading which probably wasn't the greatest idea.  Felt a little nauseous but my legs felt strong.  Again, concentrated on good form w/ greater range of motion in what I call the "backswing" and a strong push-off. 

Probably no workout tomorrow.  Getting up early to head down to Bronco Stadium for College Gameday followed by the home opener v. the Oregon State Beavers.  Gonna be rockin' in Boise tomorrow.  With CGD present, probably be louder than last year's home opener v. the Ducks.

Hope you had fun at the game, BSU rolled once again! Except for stupid mistakes (especially those 2 bad penalties in the late second half) BSU really controlled the game!

A really fun atmosphere with Gameday and ABC there. BSU let the Beavers hang around with those stupid penalties and Special Teams mistakes. Really impressed with how well they ran the ball w/ Doug Martin in the fourth qtr to basically end the game. Things should calm down quite a bit now until BSU goes to Nevada the day after Thanksgiving. I'm buying my tix this week. Should be another good one in Reno.
