"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

The last time I took two days in a row off from running was July 22nd & 23rd, 2008. Almost 11 months ago. Yesterday was a planned day off. Today was unplanned, but I'm hoping a little extra rest now will allow me to train better for the marathon this Fall. My lower right leg issue, the Magical Mystery Moving Pain that started in my achilles three weeks ago and for the last week has been presenting as a shin splint-ish type of injury, has improved over the last few days. So just to be safe, I'm taking an extra day off, and icing, resting etc. Still plan another easy week this week of 50-ish total miles for the week. If it weren't for my dad, who was a runner in the 70's before running was cool, I probably wouldn't be a runner today. Thanks Dad! Happy Father's Day to all the blogging fathers! Happy Solstice, one and all!!

| | 6:00 AM. Back to morning runs. Clear skies, 50 degrees. From house to LPT out and back. Taking the additional day off yesterday really helped. Felt no pain in achilles or shin today. We'll see tomorrow. Planning another easy week.

| | 6:00 AM. Clear, 55 degrees. From house, extended loop to LPT, out and back. Feeling pretty good this morning. Still taking it slow so as to not aggravate lower right leg, which has definitely improved.

| | 9:30 AM. PC, 78 degrees. Liberty Park. I was in SLC this morning so I thought to run in Liberty Park. I don't think I've ever run there before, even when I lived in Salt Lake. I was happy to see there was a soft bark chip trail going around the park. Unfortunately, my legs were leaden. I struggled the whole time and stopped at 6 miles. Oh well, another day...

| | Just going to write this week off as recovery/get my head together week. I don't remember the last time my mileage total for the week was this low. Maybe last August. Anyway, woke up this morning with stomach issues, plus the lingering lower right leg issue is still present. Also, I haven't blogged about this, and probably still won't, but for the last several months we've been dealing with a major medical issue in my family. I've been training through it, and achieved my 1/2 marathon goal in May. But I guess the stress is finally catching up with me. So, I'm going to take today and tomorrow off from running, refocus my energies, stretch, ice, and hopefully get a grip on my diet again, then try for a run on Sunday. I hope this doesn't have a detrimental effect on my marathon effort in September... So, 'till Sunday bloggers and bloggettes!
