"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

Didn't get out until 2:00. Ran on the roads around the neighborhood. Mostly sunny, 38F and some light wind. Test drove the new shoes, they felt great, better than I did.

After about 2.5 miles I had to stop at my house for a bathroom break, unusual for me. Also I realized that I very rarely stop during a run. Even for workouts or whatever. I think that mentally it's hard for me to stop and then start running again.

Nice run this afternoon after a short day at work. Moslty cloudy, 45F, little or no wind. It was pretty warm out today. I've felt pretty sluggish the last two days, so after 4 sluggish miles today I tried to run miles 5 and 6 faster to see if that helped, and it did.

Mini tempo splits: 7:42 and 7:47.

I managed a mid-morning escape, and ran in the sun, though it was pretty cold. Started about 9:30 am at jensen park/3000west/syracuse. Started really slow and after 4 miles tried to run a little faster for the next four.

Miles 1-4 avg 8:55 pace.

Miles 5-8 avg 8:11 pace. Mile 9 @ 8:36

Easy 8 on the LPT. Late afternoon run under sunny skies and 40 degree temps.

Legs were heavy and non-compliant throughout the run.

10 miles for lunch. Sunshine, mid forties, light wind out of the North. Mostly a steady state run but ran the last mile a little faster @ 7:52. Legs returned to the team today.
