"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

Embracing the treadmill this week...3 days in a row.

Very rough going still this morning. Don't know what's up.

THIS JUST IN:  The sun apparently still exists and is currently making it's first appearance around these parts in three days! AND it has stopped snowing, AND it's 36 degrees instead of 17 degrees.

Nice, nice day. Warm before the storm. 48F, mostly sunny, no wind. Great to run outdoors again. From the house/fairground loop. Felt better today than the last couple of days.

Nice weather again today, though not as warm. Sunny, 38F, light wind out of the north.

Ran in a new place today. I drove from work five miles to a place called Jensen park in west Layton. There is a parkway trail which I started on but the real meat was west into the sparsley populated farm lands. Long stretches of road, wide open fields and views of Antelope Ilsand, birds, cows and horses. I passed maybe a dozen cars, and this was during the rush hour time of day. I'll probably run there again as it's a good option for afternoon winter running.

After 3 miles I ran 8 x 1 min. @7:00-7:15 pace with 2 to 3 min easy inbetween.
