"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

| | Excuses for not running today: 1) I'm not really training for anything yet. (Though maybe I should be). 2) I've had this little lingering cold for two weeks that won't go away. 3) Every fiber of my being sais "don't run today" and I'm just not inclined to fight it. WARNING: RAMBLE AHEAD.
Maybe I'm not cut out to be a high mileage runner. I hit a high week of 67 miles last Thursday, but I certainly won't be repeating that again this week. It seems like my body can handle 60-70 mpw for a couple of weeks in a row but then needs a break. Perhaps it's age and my mileage buildups just need to come slower. It could be that I'm expecting too much after just a couple of solid years of running (really, 2 1/2 years). Maybe it will take four or five years before I can handle several 70-80 mile weeks in a row. For now I'll just keep plugging away as best as I can and hope that someday all the work will allow some breakthroughs here and there. The long term plan is to reach my running prime in my early 50's (I'm 46 yrs old). I've got to be patient and do it right; stay healthy, avoid injury. I'm certainly grateful to be healthy and running today.
