Understanding Apex Triggers

Hello Gurus,
Need some understanding of how triggers work.

Wrote this Code (SFDC99)
Trigger

When I did a Debug, I got this ..
Debug
Trigger Executed Twice ???
Tried RunOnce..
RunOnce
And Got this ..

Debug1
Only Before Trigger is Executed .. Very Confused ..
Can someone please explain how triggers work ??

Thanks,
Raghu

Debug Log is after Updating a Lead Record ..

Is there a workflow on the Lead object with does a field update on Lead when the Lead record is updated? Probably the workflow field update is triggering the before and after update triggers once again

Trigger works in below manner: 
1. First before trigger gets fired
2. then after triggers
3. IF there is any field update occurs then 
4. again first before and then after trigger ( of update event only) get fired.

Thanks

Thanks @ CloudStreamer, @Sandeep.

In this scenario, how to prevent recursive triggers.

If I use a static variable, only Before Triggers execute ?

I want Before and After Triggers fire just one time ??

Thanks,
Raghu
