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.

Another slow, easy run on the GB. Great weather abounds. Still easing back into things. I'm shooting for 5 days of running next week.

Lunchtime run on the GB. Fall colors are amazing along the Boise River. Legs feeling better every day. Longest run since last month's marathon. We continue to have nice temps and no wind. I will take advantage of it this week because it looks like it will change toward the end of the week.

Moderate run on GB during lunch. Weather is turning for the worse. Much colder temps, high 30's, and wind. It was fun while it lasted.

Had the day off for Vets Day. Ran to the gym, 40 mins of weight training, and ran home. Very cool with rain/snow mix.

Easy progression run on the Boise River GB from Muni Park. On the cool side but very little wind to speak of. All the leaves are gone but still a very pleasant place to spend the lunch hour.

Easy run on the GB from FF Memorial to Willow Lane. Very mild temps and no wind. Rain coming for the evening and through the weekend. Ran into a dude that owed me money. I didn't even have to say anything. He just opened his wallet and paid me 1/2 of what he owed me. I said, "Don't make me look for you next time!" :)

Easy lunchtime run on GB from Muni Park. Light rain and coolish. Struggling w/ a horrible cold & cough for past week. It's worse at night which is preventing me from getting any good sleep.

GB run from Muni Park to ParkCenter Bridge. Still battling flu-like symptoms but getting better. I've had a nasty cough for almost 2 weeks now. More than anything its played havoc w/ my sleep. Nice day for late November, 40's w/ sunshine.

Washington, D.C.

In the nations capital for a couple of days. Always fun to run on the mall. The days are short now so had to do it in the dark which was a different experience with the monuments lit up. Very pretty. I'm over the cold-flu symptoms. Just need to get more consistent with the workouts.
