"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

12 miles / 8:40 avg. early before work. from the shop - rio grand north. i decided to try my new goal marathon pace out for size today in the form of a tempo run. i ran the first 4 miles of warmup @ 9:28 avg, then a six mile tempo @ MP (goal marathon pace = 8:15) splits for the tempo: 8:13, 8:15, 8:10, 8:03, 7:59, 8:07. avg for this set was 8:08 - too fast. i'll need to make sure and stick to 8:15 per mile as the workouts get longer over the next couple of months. my last two miles were cool down @ 8:50, 8:44. once warmed up this morning i felt really good and am pretty happy with this workout.

10 miles / 8:24 avg. ran from the shop to the high school track. i was feeling pretty good but around the six mile point a hot spot that i sometimes get in the hattori's developed. it's really distracting and slows me down a lot when that happens. luckily i was only a half mile from work so i ran back, put a bandaid over the hot spot, switched shoes, put on a dry shirt and headed out to finish my run. after stopping though i couldn't pick up the nice pace i had had before. pretty warm out this morning.

splits: 9:37, 8:08, 7:32, 7:53, 7:57, 8:24, 8:53, 8:36, 8:45, 8:17.

note: these kinvara's are insane. even with 640 miles on them they still have a lot of cushion! after switching from the hattori's (flat, thin shoe), the old kinvara's felt almost too soft.
