"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

took a rest day after 13 days in a row. took a drive up the canyon for the first outdoor concert of the season at snowbasin. huge crowds up there, i guess that's the new normal now. the refillable beer mugs are smaller but cost more also, go figure. still worth it.

11 miles - lower 48/walgreens/cemetery/wasatch - i started the run hoping to be up for 8 miles, shortly into the run i realised that i felt really good and should run 10. then i recalled how everytime i feel good like this on a run i always regret not doing a little more so i went ahead and ran 11 miles. my last mile was the quickest at 8:36

10 miles - owens / easy st. to gordon, east to fort lane, north to hwy 193 and back to antelope, then east to fairfield, south to familiar territory again. today i ran on several roads i've never run on before in spite of running around these parts for 18 years. it was refreshing. i promised myself at least six miles but again felt good and kept going. around 7.5 miles i started bonking. mile 9 was a 10:16, i was cooked. todays run was the hardest so far in this current buildup, which makes me very happy because i know running with discomfort will make me stronger in the long run.

52 miles for the week ending today! this is the first time i have run at least 50 miles in a one week period since april 2015 - over 4 years ago. so pleased with todays run. this is exactly what i have been working towards for the last three months.
