"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

poor sleep again last night so i slept in and resigned myself to another treadmill run this afternoon but once i got things settled at work i saw that the weather was actually pleasant in spite of the late hour so i went for it and my optimism paid off.

5 miles - 8:43 avg - 'ster/'tist/'stview - after a couple of days off i felt better than i have in a while. this might be the first run all year where each mile is a sub 9 minute mile. the way things have been going the last couple of years i'll take this as a positive sign.

4 miles - lobstview loop.

still enjoying a break from miles (like, for the last three years - lol!) but seriously, i've wrapped up a couple of minor projects for this summer and now have no excuse to not run consistently until ski season starts. i did go kayaking again last night which compelled me to run this morning as my legs get pretty cramped stuffed into a tiny whitewater kayak. still, i'll probably just run for fitness until i find some motivation for something more.
