"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

9:00 AM. From the house to LPT out and back. Sunny, 58F, light wind. Beautiful conditions.
I felt just okay today, and things were going well until about mile 14 then I just sort of bonked. Don't know what happened...I couldn't have stuffed any more carbs into myself yesterday...hope to get this figured out by Sept. marathon.

Oh beautiful day. Sun, 68F, light wind (just right for cooling). Lunch run, Bluff trail. As usual, felt good the day after a long run. It's the day after the day after a long run that I feel it.
Hoping to get a run in early tommoroow morning before rolling out of town. Camping = no computer = no blogging until late Friday. Hoping for some good miles in the South East desert of Utah. So, in case I don't have time to blog in the morning, have a good week y'all!

6:00 AM. 8 miles, from the house to LPT. Clear skies, 46F.
PM: 4 miles (pre-blogged) somewhere near moab...
(I'm writing this on Friday the 24th, now I'm back home...) Well, if I hadn't pre-blogged it, I probably wouldn't have done it. After driving all day in the heat and finally arriving at our camp, I just wanted to crack open a cold one and soak in the views. But I had to get a 4 mile run in. But first I had to set up my tent/camp etc. Then about 6 PM I ran 4 tired, hot miles. I knew within the first mile that I was going to be in for some tough runs this week. No matter which direction I go, I was going to have to run hills. Long, slow, often quite steep, hills. I think, this, my first 70 mile week, would've have been much easier without having to do these next couple of day's runs up and down these hills. But I realized that if I could pull this off without getting injured, then I might actually feel like I'm acheiving some kind of conditioning...I was looking forward to the punishment. |

| | 7:50 AM. 4 miles up, 4 miles down. 2 miles of this climb gain 1,000 feet. This workouts to something like an 8 or 9 % grade, and in some spots it was steeper. I was extrememly tired this morning from running 37.5 miles in the three days previous (alot of miles for me), with 4 of those miles being on this same road last night. This road, by the way, is also very rocky, my feet were taking a beating. So a grueling climb. I was going to run 4 more tonight, but opted for rest instead. My legs are hammered and I'm hoping that tommorrow I'll feel more recovered... | |

7:45 AM. 11 miles starting with a descent down to a flat campground area next to the Dolores River, with a nice 1/2 mile loop that I ran several times. My legs are still feeling very sore today, especially my quads, so I ran quite slow. By the time I climbed back up to camp, I had only run 7.25 miles, so I continued on to the wretched climb that I had done yesterday for more mileage. Around mile 10, my legs actually started to feel better (?), and the last mile was enjoyable. It was an encouraging mile because I've been running sore for the last 22 miles before this ONE mile.
6:00 PM. 4.5 miles down by the Dolores river and some flat loops around the campground before the climb back to camp. This was my best run of the trip in terms of how my legs felt, and I'm hoping that I'm recovered enough to finish off a 9 miler tommorrow for 70 miles for the week. It turns out that my week ending today I ran 70.3 miles! I feel very good about this especially given the tough miles these last couple of days. |

Well, I decided to take a rest day today and finish the week tommorrow. Besides being a travel day, the wind howled through camp all night making sound sleep impossible, and it was blowing even harder this morning. It's just as well as my legs are still sore, especially the achilles...and the calves...and the quads...the feet...but hey, the knees feel solid. | |
