"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

Got to sleep too late, slept in till 6:30...no morning run. 

Escaped from work at 10 AM and got my hill/heat fix on the fire break road. 85 degrees never felt so good!

PM - Couldn't leave my monthly mileage for June at 199.75 so I took the dogs on the fire break road for another 1.25.

These pretzels are making me thirsty...

6:10 AM. Clear, 64 degrees. Humidity 78%. From the house around the hood/Lagoon trail. Most of my miles have been very slow and easy this week. My lower right leg issues (achilles/shin) feels about 90% healed at this point. I'll build up my mileage slowly over the next 9 weeks before tapering for TOU and hopefully stay injury free and lactose tolerant...

 Good luck to all the racers tomorrow!

Happy 4th of July weekend to all. We're pretty lucky folks here in the USA!
