"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! And nice miles this week too. Seems to me that you get more than your share of sunshine, and I am jealous. When we get sun here, everyone kind of goes bonkers and there is massive (and rather dangerous) mania! We literally live on vitamin D pills.

Thanks Auntieem. We get plenty of sun, but this Spring has seemed a little colder/wetter than most. This past winter/spring I've been taking vitamin D on days that are overcast, or I don't get to spend any time in the sun. I don't know if this is the right way to use vitamin D supplement or not.

I take mine everyday. But sun is few and far between around here!

Nice run out there. I really want to get on that section of trail soon. I'll be hitting it a few times in the next couple of months.

From JD on Mon, May 02, 2011 at 16:18:26 from 70.96.78.149

Thanks Scott. Let me know when you plan on running out this way and let's see if we can get together.

Sounds good.
