"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

10 miles. late run today (2:30 pm) on the LPT from the farmington front runner station running south out and back. until the weather does something besides be ideal, i'm going stop making note of it. 2 mile warmup then 1 x 2 x 1 miles @ goal of 7:15 pace with 1 mile rest in between. splits for mile 3, 5, 6, & 8 (7:08, 7:08, 7:17, 7:19). so a 7:13 avg for the 4 miles. 2 mile cool down. 8:29 avg. for the run. WT 61.9 miles forty-four

| | 5.3 miles from work. overcast, warm. not as warm as it has been the last few days but maybe just 3 or four degrees cooler. so really the temps were about the same as they have been for weeks now. and actually it felt about the same. or it would have felt the same if the sun had been out today like it has been the last several days. but today it was not. it was overcast, and a few degrees cooler than yesterday. we're talking fahrenheit here - as opposed to celsius.

S. L. T. C. Winter Series 10k (6.22 Miles) 00:47:06 | |
8.2 miles - 2 miles warm up then the 10k...i was a participant, and for that i'm grateful. okay a little more race report: first off - i actually am really grateful to be healthy and have the will to participate in a road race - at 47 years of age i could be in a much different place physically and mentally, so i don't take my running hobby for granted. also i haven't been racing much since i started running "for real" these last several years, and in addition to not having a lot of natural speed (although i'm still having some denial about that), i haven't had a lot of practice pushing myself to the edge in terms of sustained pain and discomfort. my "A" goal was to hit a 7:15 per mile average today, but after the first mile realized that it just wasn't going to happen. my race today turned out being more of just a good solid workout for me, just like the 5k two weeks ago. i pretty much gave up after 4 miles. a lot of folks passed me in the final 2 miles - and i just didn't care. i need to find me some "competitive". i noticed that when i was approaching someone to pass, they would inevitably speed up to try and hold me off. for some reason, i don't have that sensibility. i wonder how much better i would do if i were more competitive. i did finish strong, and that felt good. i'm not sore, and i know that by running consistently i can get out for a few miles tomorrow no problem, and that's a great feeling. just wish i was faster. my hope is that by increasing my mileage this year, and racing a lot, i can get some pr's. now i have a 47:06 pr in the 10k to improve on. my splits for the race tell the ugly tale: 7:17, 7:34, 7:25, 7:32, 7:5o, 7:48, + .22@7:10 pace.
