"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

a full week with no run. i feel awesome!

so this break has given me a new perspective about this running blog. in the back of my mind are little creeping doubts about getting back to the mileage in a couple of weeks. will i have the motivation? do i even want to keep running consistently this year, and keep trying to incrementally bring down my race times etc? checking in on other runners everyday here on the blog and reading about their workouts and experiences is so motivating! right now my mind and body are in hibernation mode, but i can feel the excitement percolating in the back of my "being". and that's in large part because i'm able to stay in touch with the spirit of this crazy sport through Fast Running Blog. 

so, you know, thanks fellow bloggers.
