"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 miles - lobster loop - had a homeless woman run with me for about 30 seconds inquiring if i had been overweight at some point in my life and if i had a bad back. she'd had some sort of wager going with her boyfriend about me - i told her that i was about 30 pounds heavier a decade ago, and my back was fine. i must say she ran with pretty decent form.

8am - light rain, upper 40's - very nice for running
