"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

In light of all the Plank-mania sweeping the blog as of late, I decided to try my first one, ever. After about a minute and a half I stopped, and have determined that you planksters are all masochists!

7 miles / easy recovery run. Occasionally sunny, temps in the mid 40's, lot's of wind out of the south. One mile boardwalk loops at the nature preserve.

WT 55.1 miles

So I registered for the Buffalo Run 50 miler today. Guess I'd better increase my Fruit Loop consumption.

AM - 8.2 miles / Super Easy. From work. Sun, cold, some wind.

PM - 4.2 miles on the fire break road. Dark, cold, windy, headlamp, dog. I had my first fall of the season when some renegade rock popped up out of the ground. Fortunately I pitched forward instead of back and rolled out of it (as only a middle aged man can) relatively unscathed.

Feeling a little funkified today so I'm going to skip the run. Sore throat, run down, malaise  in the head etc. 

In addition, this is our busiest time of the year at work (floral), so running is somewhat on the back burner. I'll find a way to squeeze in some mileage though, but probably only 3 or 4 days running this week.

Still feeling a little bit of the funk, but I got a solid 9 hours of sleep last night and felt okay for the run today.
