"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

Started feeling a little funky last night. Didn't sleep well, and felt loopy at work this morning. Came home early feeling mildly lymph nodie. Just got up from a two hour nap and feel ...well, not worse really. So I'm not going to push it today ( I wanted to run long), and hopefully I'll be good to go tomorrow. After a 34 mile week, and two days off in a row, I'd better feel like a rock -n-roller.
