"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

8.6 miles - started with a 3.6 mile loop on the snowy, sporadically tracked buffalo ranch trail, then finished with 5 miles on the sweet asphalt of the road. did several striders/fartlek throughout the last couple of miles, just random pickups without timing, probably at 5k pace-ish. hope i can manage at least one workout later this week. mostly sunny, 31F felt cooler with the steady breeze out of the WNW.
