"Engaging in a little suffering — however self-imposed, arbitrary and contrived — before breakfast each morning tends to demand some humility and injects some marked relief into the rest of the day, making things sharper, more inspired, more immediately aware of the powerful presence of being. And that seems really worthwhile." A. Krupicka

 

"I cruised down hills, churned up hills, and floated over the asphalt, existing in a world that seemed to lack the confinements of such ubiquitous rivets as time, obligation, or pain. I knew then that this was destined to be one of those serendipitous runs for which so many of 
us strive yet so rarely achieve." J. Nevels

  8 miles / 1:06:26 / 8:18 Treadmill after work. Tiny workout:

2 mi. WU, 8 x 1/4 mi. @ 6:40 pace w/equal recovery, 2 mi.CD

I tried to keep my pace up on the warm up, recoveries, and cool down, so my overall average pace didn't suffer too much.

Great day! Super busy. I got to get back to running early AM, before work.

From Carolyn in Colorado on Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 19:56:07 from 24.8.167.243

I struggle to get out if I don't do it first thing. Priorities, you know.

From Kelli on Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 21:58:12 from 71.219.89.82

Nice job!!! I keep my pace SUPER SLOW on the recoveries so i do not suffer much!

JD: A nice recovery day! Harder to get out early now with the darkness back. Can't wait for those looooonngg days of realy summer!

From Carolyn in Colorado on Sat, Mar 20, 2010 at 09:15:57 from 74.40.148.80

You're funny. I'm with Kelli. I'd rather the pace suffer than myself.

From JD on Sat, Mar 20, 2010 at 12:17:57 from 70.96.78.157

Usually, I do slow down a lot more in between intervals etc. But since I was just doing 8 miles, I thought I'd make it a little tougher.
