"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.

615AM: Easy + Speed: 10 x 100m strides. Ran a few miles last night and my old body does not like the back to backs.  Good thing I only do that once a week. Left piriformis muscle still barking at me and beggin for some treatment. It's not an injury, just bothersome.

In other bad news, just found out that Lance Berkman is likely out for the year. Cards have a lot of depth at 1st base (Matt Adams was raking before he was called up from AAA and Allen Craig is an All Star in waiting once he comes off the DL) but he was definitely the leader in the clubhouse.

830PM: Easy Recovery Run to work out some of the lactate from yesterday's hard effort. Ideally I should have cooled down w/ some post race mileage yesterday but the schedule was too packed. A little sore in the hips & glutes at the beginning. Felt better by the end. One more week until the taper!
