"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

| | Usually I drive the 1.6 miles from my house to the access point for my fire break road run because it's a pretty steep climb, about 500 ft, with the last 300 ft being in the last .6 mile. Today I started from my house around 2:30 PM. Skies were partly cloudy and 77 degrees. The first mile in 9:33 was a good warm up considering the climb. The second mile ( including the steep .6 )was just under 11:00. I 've run this route twice before but not kept track of the pace, so I'll use this as a comparison next time I run up there. I didn't push at all on the second mile but I didn't dog the climb either. The next miles were out and back on the fire break road with several good climbs and descent in both directions. Splits for this section were 9:49, 9:37, 9:38, 9:34, 10:09, and then starting back down the canyon I went real easy down the steep part and ran the 8th mile in 9:37. The last 1.15 miles were mostly downhill on the road and I tried to salvage some of my overall pace result by running mile 9 in 8:03, and the last .15 mile at a 7:15 pace. The run was 9.15 miles / 9:38 avg. About 1,300 ft up and down over the distance. I hope to do this run several times over the Summer. Great workout.
The foot pain I mentioned yesterday is still present, but it's more comfortable to run on then to walk on.
