"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

7 miles from work - minority/sherwood/valeria loop. 4 x 30 second hill reps on golden ave. 8:52 avg. 6 months of downtime is over, back to running again. it's good to take some breaks here and there, but i let myself get completely out of shape this year. in times past, it was easy to whip myself back into condition. but this time has been a long slow slog. so remember kids, and by kids i mean those over 40 years old: if you're currently fit...STAY FIT!!
WT 39.3 miles

hot-n-easy 5 miles on the boardwalk at the nature preserve. everything this week is going really well, except for getting the running in. this is the plight of the hobby jogger. WT 20.3 miles *the garmin 205 that i've had since i started this blog almost 5 years ago finally gave up the ghost. almost 13,000 miles of running and i never had any issues with it (i dropped it on concrete once and lost the audio, but after a while the audio came and went randomly. also, just once could i not get the satellite to load, i have no idea why). i was still getting 10+ hours on the battery between charges right up to the end. now i'm watchless until the new one arrives. *though only a hobby jogger, and running about 1/4 of the mileage i ran last year, my weight, after shooting up 10 pounds by the end of March, is now back down to within a pound of what it was in december after having run 370+ days in a row. i attribute this to good ol' calorie reduction (much less carbs), which is easy to manage when you're not really running any miles.

4 miles on the MFT. so my current excuse for running such low mileage lately is that i'm caught up in a quagmire of "not-sleeping-therefore-not-running". but i'm not sure which came first. am i not sleeping because i'm not running enough to be tired out at night? or am i going through some kind of insane insomnia cycle that leaves me too worn out to run each day?either way, it's not enjoyable.
