"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

4.5 miles / easy. From work. Post 50 miler test run. Aside from some general fatigue, a weak left quad and right achilles (chronic), I felt good.

Day off. Surfing a wave of fatigue today.

PM edit:

The Treadmill Avoidance Project (TAP) has been a rousing success. Even though there will still be days of inclement weather before Summer, I feel confident in my ability to avoid the TM. For the record, I did not set foot on the TM once throughout the Winter. As a result, my TM at home has become a repository of all ambiguous and misplaced household items, whose future use is indeterminate, in addition to being a "safe place" for the cats to hang out.
