"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

Trail run. 10 miles on the BST, North from Kaysville. Run started at 11:12 AM under mostly sunny skies with temps from mid to upper 80's. A little warm. Got a nice little Mother Nature reminder from a rattler just as I started my run. It was huge, black and yellow striped, and loud! I saw another snake, just the garden variety kind, sunning a few miles further down the trail. I ran this course five weeks ago in 1:55:20, an 11:32 per mile average. Today I ran the same course in 1:46:27, a 10:39 average pace. Huge difference. I just felt really good today, able to take advantage of any flat sections and stretch the legs out. I saw two other runners on the trail. One woman, just up from Fernwood park. Then about a half mile from the finish I came up on an older guy. I was a little embarrassed about passing him like some young punk. I slowed and said hello as I passed and he picked up his pace and we got down to a sub 7 minute pace at the end there. I was having trouble keeping up with him. Awesome dude. 63 years old and 6 months out of heart surgery. He's just starting to build back his mileage. It made my day to run with this guy for a few minutes. Around 2,400 ft. gain/drop total.

| | Staying consistent with my recent inconsistency. Low motivation month. I used to just run THROUGH these periods. But I guess the combination of the heat and no race on the horizon leave me content to just maintain for a bit until I get it back.

13 miles. 10:00 AM. Bluff trail. Lack of fitness and late morning heat (82-87F) made for a slow run.
I went to the doctor yesterday for routine checkup. Here's some stats: BMI 21.4 (within "normal range for a 46 yr. old man, also puts me in the 8th percentile for weight), BP was 114/66, my pulse came out at 60 bpm (though, I haven't seen a doctor in decades and MAY have been a little nervous). All in all, I'm one of the rare "fit" people this doctor gets to see these days. Running is such a healthy habit!
