"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

Nice run this morning on the pipeline trail in Millcreek canyon with Lysa (on the blog) and Scott (not on the blog). 

Good to catch up with old friends, running in a beautful place on a beautiful summer morning!

Sounds like a great way to start the day.

It's great that you had a run w/ friends. Good to do every now and then. Does Mrs. JD run at all? Mr. Sno runs a bit but is way too fast for me.

Adam - thanks. I miss all the great running spots in SLC, so it's always a treat to get over there.

Sno - Mrs. JD, heretofore referred to as AW, which are her actual initials but could also be construed to stand for "Adoring Wife", which she certainly is, runs several times a year, but in no way could be considered a "runner". However, AW is quite fanatical about a game known as "Basketball", which of course I share no interest in, which provides balance in our relationship as it appears AW has no idea that I even run.
