"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

| | Top excuses why I'm not running today: 1) It's a brilliantly sunny day, and who wants to run under those conditions. 2) Pretty busy day at work, can't get away because... 3) It's my 14th wedding anniversary so my wife and I are going to have a nice lunch together. 4) My back's been a little tweaked the last couple of days, so a little break might be good. So there you have it. No run. I've taken a lot of days off this year. But I've been conscious of that and have tried to run bigger days when I do run. Because of this I'm way ahead of my mileage for the same time last year. Still, I'll be trying to work in more consistency as the year continues.

5.5 miles / pretty darn easy pace! From work. Sunny, 60F. WT 57.6 miles So this is interesting to me. Last year at this point I had accumulated 491.25 miles, this year 540.5. So I'm 49.25 miles ahead of last year. Also, the first 10 days of March 2010 totaled 85.2 miles, this year I'm blazing ahead with 85.6 miles. Lol!

8.2 miles / Super easy pace. From work. Super nice weather. I just haven't felt human these last two days. Perhaps I'm a dancer.
WT 65.3 miles pm note: My quantcast number, which usually hovers around 40 people, shot up to over 400 today. Obviously something's messed up. Anyone else ever experience this?

26.2 miles / extremely easy, ultra-trail running pace. Antelope Island. Mostly over cast, temps in the 50's. I wanted to try and get some miles out of my very tired legs. I think I succeeded. I did an 8 mile loop back to my car and drank water, ate some banana, grabbed my hand held water bottle and went out for a second loop, which included the the climb I had missed last week on the switch backs. Once on top I took the single track that heads west (elephant head?) once the trail veered south for a bit I took a couple of minutes soaking in the rare view and utter silence of the west side of the island. This was around 15 miles. Then headed back getting to the car again at just over 22 miles. I was considering calling it a day at that point, but after a few minutes I decided I felt good enough for a few more. Plus it was an opportunity to switch from the rockridges to the mt101 and experience the contrast between the two shoe models. I've determined that the rockridges are the way for me to go for the buffalo run. The 101's are a great minimal shoe, but I can only handle 30 miles in them. I'm just not that efficient of a runner yet. Plus I need to lose another 10 pounds and that would help. Even though this run wasn't quite as far as I was originally hoping to go today, I think it was a good training run because I went into it already very tired, especially my legs. The whole run felt hard today, and that's good. Plus it's three weeks in a row that I got a long run in. I plan to take it very easy the next two weeks before the race. WT - 68 miles
