"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

TWO MILES! from work. progression run. when i got through the first mile and turned around to head back, i saw that i had run it in 10:37, so i knew i was really going to have to dig deep if i wanted to make this a progression run. luckily i had a tail wind for most of the trip back. 10:16 avg.

splits: 10:37, 9:55.
