"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

10 miles on the BST starting in Kaysville and heading north along the wasatch 100 course. High thin overcast, 75 - ishF. After getting a PR for this route going out, I was reduced to a floppy bag of poo for the last couple of miles coming back. Still, rewarding to finish a run under those circumstances.

AM - 8.8 miles / easy commute to work. The new parkway extension only cuts .3 miles out of my shortest route to work, but it takes me off a dangerous section of road that is really narrow and has a couple of blind hills. Great temps this morning. Started out at <50F, then the sun came out and warmed it up to about 60F by the time I got to work. The commute home should be interesting as it's supposed to get up around 80 degrees today.

PM - 9.4 miles / easier commute home. It was only 75F by the time I got home. Perfect baby step to hot weather running. There was some kind of "event" going on a section of the parkway. Maybe a ribbon cutting type thing for the new extension to the trail. So at each road crossing they had little aid stations set up, and the many walkers and bikers who were out there participating were checking in at each stop, I guess. It was certainly by far the most people I've ever seen on the parkway. Based on what I saw today, I believe the recent statistic I read somewhere that "1/3 of American adults are obese, and many more are over weight", is not an exaggeration. So, I think any event that gets people out the door and moving around a little is good reason to celebrate. Hopefully, some of these participants took the first step of many today on their way to a more active lifestyle.
