Personal:

born in 1964. married 25 years. one wife one dog

"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

9.1 miles / 8:55 avg. in an effort to shake myself from this life of dedicated inertia i've been living lately, i hitched a ride to work with my wife, therefore committing myself to a commute run home. don't know how wise a decision that is given my recent lack of training, but i knew that if i just took it easy i would be fine. i was fine, and the weather was spectacular. shorts (of course) and short sleeves! a good run.

WT 15.1 miles

oh, it's so beautiful today.

what are "shorts"? sounds sketchy.

From JD on Sat, Feb 16, 2013 at 15:53:57 from 71.219.94.192

shorts are the exact opposite of longs. they can be sketchy in mixed company.

"life of dedicated inertia"

this is, without a doubt, the best phrase i've seen in quite some time.

(noting that inertia doesn't always mean motionless...)

shorts are for people without cellulite. Way to rock it.
