"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

| | 12 miles - lower 48/emerald (got to the park around mile 7 and the water fountain was ON) /wasatch (with laps at crestview and whitesides)
slept poorly and little last night and had all but written off running this morning but decided to at least go for a short one. once out there though i started feeling good and ended up running my planned miles at a better than planned pace.

| | am - easy 8 - bassackwards rainbow loop w/crestview laps
730am - mostly cloudy, a few raindrops, breezy, mid 60's
pm - 3 on the treadmill - pretty tired today. trying to build up the miles as quick as my old man body will let me. it used to take just a few weeks to ramp up to 50+ mpw. currently, i've put three months of focused effort into it and still haven't gotten there, but will hit 50 mpw in another week or two - not complaining though. i'm really grateful to be able to run, and to physically improve. i know guys my age who are havng just the opposite experience with their physical lives. running is like a fountain of youth.

| | took a rest day after 13 days in a row. took a drive up the canyon for the first outdoor concert of the season at snowbasin. huge crowds up there, i guess that's the new normal now. the refillable beer mugs are smaller but cost more also, go figure. still worth it.

| | 11 miles - lower 48/walgreens/cemetery/wasatch - i started the run hoping to be up for 8 miles, shortly into the run i realised that i felt really good and should run 10. then i recalled how everytime i feel good like this on a run i always regret not doing a little more so i went ahead and ran 11 miles. my last mile was the quickest at 8:36

| | 10 miles - owens / easy st. to gordon, east to fort lane, north to hwy 193 and back to antelope, then east to fairfield, south to familiar territory again. today i ran on several roads i've never run on before in spite of running around these parts for 18 years. it was refreshing. i promised myself at least six miles but again felt good and kept going. around 7.5 miles i started bonking. mile 9 was a 10:16, i was cooked. todays run was the hardest so far in this current buildup, which makes me very happy because i know running with discomfort will make me stronger in the long run.
52 miles for the week ending today! this is the first time i have run at least 50 miles in a one week period since april 2015 - over 4 years ago. so pleased with todays run. this is exactly what i have been working towards for the last three months.

| | 10 miles - big fort lane loop - in mile 8 i did 6x30 second hill reps on golden ave - this run felt very hard today. my recent increase in volume has me running pretty slow everyday but i know that eventually my body will break through and my paces will come down if i stick with it.

3 miles in the afternoon on the treadmill - very slow - it's not too hot outside or anything but i want to keep sprinkling in a few treadmill miles every week to increase my volume but take some of the impact off my legs

| | 16 miles on the buffalo ranch trail - i haven't been out here in about 4 years i think. it's a 3.7 ish mile loop thats relatively flat and has a nice pea gravel surface. temps in the mid to upper 70's but it was mostly cloudy and breezy which took the edge off the warmth. i was hoping for maybe a couple of more miles today but nothing ever really came together and i stopped at sixteen. again, had plenty of energy, no pains or niggles, just sort of flat...was hoping things would sync up but it never happened and as a result i was moving pretty slow - still, happy to get it done. - 9:56 avg
i met all my micro goals for the month of june by running at least 200 miles (212), getting a 50 mile week (i hit a high of 55 somewhere in there), and a "long" run of 15 miles (16). so things are moving along according to plan, i'm healthy, no injuries, just a little tired. anitcipating some sort of "breakthrough" along the way where a faster pace feels effortless and a 20 miler feels easy - or maybe that's too much to ask at 55 years old...time will tell
650am - mostly cloudy, mid to upper 70's
