Personal:

born in 1964. married 25 years. one wife one dog

"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

Wow! Great avg. for 10.6. Look at you! For some reason I was thinking during my run "I wonder if JD ever runs with his dogs?" I think everyone I saw while running today had a dog or two with them.

when i was doing a lot of trail running i would take my dogs. lately i just run on the roads so the dogs don't go. they still get plenty of play time though.

sounds like a great day. what kind of dogs do you have?

From JD on Tue, Jan 10, 2012 at 20:22:55 from 70.96.78.149

currently we have "Buddy", an 11 yr old white lab, and "Loki" a 5 yr old great dane (fawn). spoiled, they are.
