"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

Easy 8. Mostly cloudy, low 60 temps, light winds out of the West. 2:30 PM. We drove to the Mystery Field track with the dogs. I did 3 easy miles there while the dogs played and my wife ran too. Then she drove them home and I finished my run on the roads. 8:45 avg.

It rained all night. When I woke up, snow was falling. I drove to work in a snowstorm. I'm so happy I could puke.

 

PM: 8 miles on the treadmill. The weather had cleared up quite a bit, but it was still chilly with the wind. I had gotten myself all worked up about a TM run after work, so I stuck with the plan. I ran miles 3, 5, and 7 at HMP (7:54), mostly just to break up the run a little.  8:35 avg.

Easy 8. Early lunch run on the Bluff trail. Sunny, mid 60's,  good wind. Legs were, unfortunately, napping while I ran. 9:10 avg.

One of my favorite mid-day snacks: A can of Great Northern Beans. Nutrition: Approximately 385 calories, 66.5 grams carbohydrates, 21 grams protein, and a good dose of Iron as well. Best enjoyed cold, direct from the can. It's a good thing.

In spite of sleeping really well the last couple of nights, I feel wiped out. My legs/muscles feel fine, I just feel exhausted. I'm blaming it on residual post marathon fatigue. I'm really milking it for all it's worth. So, no run today.
