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.

I've been throwing in slow miles here and there all month but I feel like its time to start documenting the journey again. No matter what happens, I feel like I have unfinished business and I enjoy running too much to leave it how it was.
