"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

8 miles / 8:42 avg. Early lunch run from work. Sunny, upper 60's. The first three miles felt awful. I felt light headed and weak. I decided to try some 1 minute intervals and see if that would fix things. Since this wasn't a workout, I took 2 minutes in between the 1 minute surges (<7 min. pace). After 8 intervals I was feeling better and ran mile 7 at 7:46. Then did two more one minute surges and cooled down for a total of 8 miles. So, although this was an easy paced run overall, it was a good mental exercise. Splits: 9:16, 9:05, 9:15, 8:32, 8:19, 8:46, 7:46, 8:40.

| | 10.4 miles. Early lunch run. Bluff trail. I was going to call this run "rough", but I think "ugly" describes it better. | |

10 miles on the fire break road. This was the perfect summer evening run. I got started a little after 7:00 PM. Temps in the mid to upper 80's, but once the sun went down and the breeze kicked in it felt perfect. Beautiful sunset as viewed from the foothills on the East side of the valley with the sun dipping behind Antelope Island to the West. One of those runs where I felt no pain and had plenty of energy. It got dark towards the end which was kind of cool.

7.25 miles / 8:27 avg. TM. That's right....treadmill. I took my running things to work and changed into them after work intending to stop at the LPT on the way home for some easy miles. The wind had been blowing pretty hard all day from the South. So I figured I could go South out then come back with a nice little tailwind. But when I got to the parking lot and got out of my car the wind was just too much for my feeble mind to deal with, plus it was pretty warm. So I got on the treadmill at home. First TM run in 3 months or something. I can't run on the treadmill without doing a little workout so I did a 2 mile warmup, then 10 x 1/4 mile with 1/4 mile rest in between. My pace on the quarters went thus: 8:00, 7:48, 7:42, 7:36, 7:30, 7:30, 7:42, 7:09, 7:30, 7:04. then 1.25 mile cool down. I haven't done anything even resembling speedwork lately so I kept today's intervals easy, mostly just staving off boredom.
Running on the TM in my house had me sweating like it was Summer time. Oh wait...
