"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

8 miles - 9:00 - from work before work. rio grand parkway. it was near 70F before the sun came up!i was really dragging this morning - my confidence has been shot lately because of the "deep fatigue" episode i experienced a few weeks ago. i'm definitely feeling much better these last couple of weeks, but every time i feel just a little tired i start worrying that it's coming back. anyway, after two very slow warmup up miles i ran a ladder of minutes @ 10k - HM pace: 1 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 1 / with a minute easy between each interval. the second i began my first interval i felt 100% better. by the time i got to the 5 minute step, i was feeling like an actual runner again, but steadily lost strength after that to the finish.
