"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

Woke up at 6:00 am, the wind was still howling, didn't sleep well anyway, so I "slept" until 8:00. Really didn't feel well, nothing specific, just slight nausea, malaise etc. But I got out on the run anyway. Struggled the whole way, extremely slow pace but I finished. No gas in the tank but another deposit in the bank.
Ran on the cattle rd./dykes. When I ran years before I used to run out here and I never saw another runner until today. We passed running opposite directions. Very fit looking, having a better run than me no doubt. I wonder if he's on this blog. | |

6:30 am. Cattle rd. My mile splits are improving, but I'm not really trying to run faster, so I hope I'm not over doing it. For me, the last couple of weeks have been a big increase in mileage, and so far I feel good. I'm resisting the urge to run more and faster, I just want to get a good aerobic base going without getting injured or sick.
One of the many benefits to running six days a week is that I can count on the run...I know I'm running the next day...what am I trying to say? Before, I would run one day, be tired the next morning, not run, not think about it etc. Very inconsistent. Mentally (and aerobically) it just makes more sense, if you're serious about being a runner, to plan on running every day, and actually it's kind of relief to know I'm going to get out tommorrow for another run. Kind of an all or nothing approach to training. | |

Lot's of hilly fun on the fire break road today. I have now completed two-6 day weeks in a row.
Though I was gagged and bound and thrown into the trunk of the relaxy taxi seven months ago when I started running again, I think I can see a way out, but I have to be careful the trunk lid doesn't slam shut on my legs when I make my escape...to be continued... | |
