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

5 miles - jensen park/bluff trail - 7:57 avg

splits: 7:43, 7:42, 7:45, 8:23, 8:13 - i started off at what for me is a good pace (slightly better than half marathon pace) for the first three miles, but then crashed hard after that. excuses are as follows: 1) very poor sleep 2) hot - i started the run at 10:30 am. 3) age - i'm nearly half a century old! and,  4) genetic endowment, of which speed was not included.

i'm still happy with the effort as it indicates that i've gained a little more fitness over the last couple of months as i work to dig myself out of the lethargy i've rutted myself into.
