"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

12.2 miles / 8:32 avg. Commute home. Thin overcast, mid 40's temp.

After 3 miles warm up I did 1 mile@HM pace/1 mile easy through mile 10 then 2.2 miles cool down. My pace on the HM miles was 8:01, 7:42, 7:50, 7:43. Legs are definitely not quite back from the long run nine days ago, so this was a good way to simulate how the legs might feel towards the end of a half marathon. I guess. Really I'm just scrambling around in the dark here.

No run today. Everything but my legs feels totally recovered from the 50 miler. Actually I've got some tingling in my toes on my left foot, like my foot is trying to fall asleep or something. Weird. Maybe I should give my foot some mela"toe"nin to help it along.

12 miles / 10:07 avg. From work. Mostly sun, persistent wind out of the south, mid 40's temp. I was determined to run very easy today. It felt so great to just kick back and tour the neighborhoods. Traffic was really light, because of spring break I guess. I can't get over how good this felt; very therapeutic, like a thank you note to my legs.

No run today. No doubt I'll be well rested for thhe half at the end of next week. Mostly I just wanted to test a post from my new Kindle!

 Yes I love technology.
