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

12 miles / 8:41 avg. from work rio grande - south out and back. attempted a progression run got through mile 6 and took a conscious break in mile 7 then intended to continue the progression but faltered in the final miles finishing strong with an 8:12. didn't feel super today, so this run took a lot of effort. almost a 2 minute negative split!

splits: 9:24, 9:02, 8:56, 8:38, 8:37, 8:25, 8:58 (break time), 8:15, 8:35, 8:31, 8:45, 8:12
