Personal:

"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

first ski day of the season yesterday (downhill skiing, no cardio value). season's off to a late start due to lack of snow but still nice to get up into the mountains and out of our polluted valley for a few hours. i wanted to be sure and run today as i intend to keep a low mileage base this winter unlike last winter when i essentially took four months off from running. the bruised meniscus i suffered a couple of months ago has not been present for awhile so i go forward with caution and gratitude that i am physically able to indulge in and enjoy these activities.

not going to bother with a year end summary this year. suffice it to say injuries plagued, motivation waned, and goals weren't met. meh. nowhere to go but up from here. 

on a positive note i did run 16 time for 65 total miles this month compared to 1 run and 4 miles total this month a year ago. i'm trending in the right direction!
