"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

8 miles / 8:33 avg. treadmill (always at a 1% incline). i put the treadmill in our "potting shed" it's an old one car garage, kind of dilapitated. it has electricity but no heat - perfect for treadmilling about.

the Year of the Hobby Jogger comes to a close. i'm proud to say that this years mileage is the least i have run since i started up running again (and started here on the blog). my first year back was 2008, and i covered 1,317 miles. this year i ran 1,177 miles. plus, i ended the year with my lowest mileage month with decembers total coming in at an ignoble 33 miles.

here's a breakdown of the last 6 years total mileages:

2008 - 1,317

2009 - 2,654

2010 - 2,578

2011 - 2,618

2012 - 3,083

2013 - 1,177

- i ran 174 times in 2013 (compared to 390+ times in 2012) and netted an average 6.7 miles per run.

- so yeah, i took full advantage of my hobby jogger status this year.  i basically ran only when i really wanted to and it was convenient. i also didn't race at all in 2013. so i should be fully rested up now and ready to start training again. planning to start off slowly and carefully though. as it happens i am under the weather these last couple of days - so no runs until i feel better.
