Outside run......Sunny, 64 F and winds out of the NE @ 4 mph. 15.0 miles at an easy pace of 8.0 minutes per mile.....2 hrs. A very inspiring paragraph out of the book...Born To Run in regards to long distance trail running.... "Relax enough, and your body becomes so familiar with the cradle-rocking rhythm that you almost forget you're moving. And once you break through to that soft, half-levitating flow, that's when the moonlight and champagne show up: You have to be in tune with your body, and know when you can push it and when to back off . You have to listen closely to the sound of your own breathing; be aware of how much sweat is beading on your back; make sure to treat yourself to cool water and a salty snack and ask yourself, honestly and often, exactly how you feel. What could be more sensual than paying exquisite attention to your own body?" Afternoon....21 mile bike ride.
