"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

Started run at 5:40 am. This is my longest run under this current effort. Everything went as well as I could hope for. Ran on the cattle rd/dykes. Average pace 10:10, my fastest mile was the last mile. I feel like I'm doing everything right so far, not over doing it, avoiding injury. Felt controlled most of the run, able to maintain form, and breathing easy.
Beautiful full moon out this morning. | |

6:30 am. First run "on the roads" since I started running again. Funny how the strategies I had developed years ago for avoiding traffic are seemingly hardwired in my brain. I've been a little anxious about running through the streets again but it all came back in an instant and I felt right at home. The big difference though is that I have a GPS! It's so great to know that no matter what twists and turns I decide to take while out on a run, I'll have an accurate measurement of my time and pace. Bueno!
My pace was slow. I felt good considering what for me was a long run yesterday.
I'm still trying to decide if I like the feature on the Garmin that starts mocking me when I dip below a certain pace. Lol!

6:45 am. Absolutely wanted to stay in bed this morning. I'm getting plenty of sleep. Yeah my legs are a little sore, this was just plain ol' fatigue I think. I have increased my mileage a lot recently, and this is only my third week of running six days, so I think it's catching up to me a little. It's hard to stay safe and not over do the mileage, especially when my mileage is only 35 miles a week or so. Must keep things in perspective. | |

| | Late start run on the cattle rd/dykes. When the sun hits those marshes the bugs start swarmin'. So I think I got my protien for the day. Felt tired but strong. My average pace was almost thirty seconds per miles faster than the seven miler I did out here last week! | |

6:30 am. Easy and slow, on the cattle rd.
Let's pretend that my pace on this run is a meal...a big heaping plate of "slow", now let's suppose that I decide to dash down to the store and get a pound of grated "slow" to pile on top of my plate. Then, not being satisfied with that, for my beverage, I mix up a gallon of 100% "slow" to quench my thirst! Finally for dessert, two...no, make that three, scoops of organic, corn fed, free range..."slow". Therein lies the best description I can muster to illustrate my pace on todays run.
Bon apetit! | |

6:30 am. Ran from the house up Farmington canyon, along the fire break road and back. Didn't know what I'd do this morning but ended up feeling good so I made the climb, 500 ft in the first mile and a half, then lots of up and down for four miles, along the fire break rd, then back down the canyon, then weaving through the neighborhood so I could get enough distance in to make my first 40 mile week! Yeah baby!
This is three weeks in a row running six days a week. I've increased my mileage from 25/wk to 40/wk. So I think I should make next week an easy week. Still running six days, but cutting back a little on the mileage.
I hope to stay motivated enough to keep laying down base throughout the Winter and coming out strong next Spring. | |
