"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

am - 10 miles / Bluff trail. Sun, 36F. This was an easy paced run. I was jogging along the bluff trail pretty slowly. At about mile 5 1/2 a runner passed me going the opposite direction. At around mile 6 1/4 I turned around and saw that he was now running the same direction as me and was less than a quarter mile back. I'm not competitive but I like using other runners to boost my own performance. So to make a long story short, the first 6 miles I averaged a 9:37 per mile pace. The last 4 miles I averaged 8:28 per mile. Avg. for the run: 9:09. 

pm - 5 miles at the MFT with both dogs. Dark, cold. 9:18 avg.

Since I infrequently run 70 miles in a one week period, please forgive my indulgent display of celebration: woo-hoo.

WT 70.9  miles

Rest day.

Just signed up for the S.L. Half in April. The Buffalo Run 50 miler should be a good training run for the half. Lol!

10 miles. From house to LPT out and back. Overcast, temps in the low to mid 30's. Really hard to get out the door this morning. Really easy pace. Really glad I ran today.

22.2 miles / 9:09 avg. Bluff trail/roads all over north west Davis County (Clinton, West Point, Hooper etc). Lot's of horses and large pickups. Mostly cloudy, 30 degrees, unfriendly breeze out of the North. Felt okay today. Legs a little tired from the mileage this week. First stop at mile 13 at my vehicle where I took a drink of water and a bite of banana, grabbed my water bottle and a couple of Gu's and continued. I had Gu at miles 16 and 19.
