Personal:

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

6 ft tall, nation wide

"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

3 miles - golden/frontage/out and back. *garbage run*. i was surprised at the amount of garbage i found in a short 1 1/2 mile stretch. going out and back allowed me to pick through the area pretty well.

 

thanks to allie for promoting the garbage run -

  edit: actually, thanks to allie and Fiddy for creating this event!

8 miles / 8:39 avg. wasatch/whitesides/adamswood/golden loop. put more effort in miles 3, 5, and 7 (7:33, 7:44, 7:55). i would have preferred that these splits got faster, the last one (mile 7) was mostly downhill too.still, always good to get out for a run, and overall i definitely feel better this week than i have in a while.
