"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

7:00 am. Ran with Chad on the Pipeline trail in Milcreek canyon. Nice to run with someone for a change. When we got to the trailhead at Birch Hollow, it started to rain, but a few minutes into the run it cleared up and conditions were nice.
Oddly, my average pace for todays run was 20 seconds per mile slower than the six miles I ran Friday. Must have been the slow company...hah! Just kidding! I hope it didn't do Chad too much harm to run 2 to 3 mins. per mile slower than his usual pace. Thanks again Chad!
So I doubled my mileage from July to August! I feel good and will continue to run consistently, increase my miles, and keep looking for the magic pill that will make me faster! | |

| | Bonding with Mother Nature this morning. Cattle road with the dogs. Was going to go longer but turned around after 2 miles to return in a strong, cold headwind, combined with rain and even some hail. Fortunately there was a little thunder and lightning as well, so as to keep me from getting bored! | |

Didn't really sleep last night, so I slept in this morning. Luckily the temps have cooled a little bit and I can get a run in this evening without burning up.
Stay tuned...
Ran 14 miles on the bird refuge. Clear skies, light breezes, comfortable temperature. While happy to have run the distance, I'm a little dissapointed at how I just sort of bonked into the 13th mile. It might be a fuel issue. I'm not in the habit of carrying Gu's etc, and I was out there quite a while. Plus, all I ate today was some watermelon, then a couple of slices of wheat bread right before the run. I hadn't planned on running long today, the opportunity just sort of jumped out at me and I decided to go for it. I should probably look into eating on the run.

Recovery from yesterday afternoons long run. 6:15 am. from the house to the jr. high field for 1.5 miles then back.
Felt fine except for my right IT band flaring up after two miles. Will look for specific stretches on the net today. This has happened before, recently, and when I ran years ago. Same side. I wonder if it's something in my form or if the disparity in leg length might contribute to the problem. | |

Resting...resting...resting...
If I don't get a run in tonight, I'll make up for it Saturday...
Ran tonight on the fire break road, a really hilly course. Felt great, no IT issues...whew!
If inhaling swarms of bugs could kill you, I'd have had my last supper out there tonight.

Tour of the hood. Made my way to the school field, 2 miles on the grass, then a meandering route back home. Really nice temps.
Felt great, especially after running just last night, a twelve hour turnover. This is new to me. Twice this week I did the late in the day/then again the next morning runs. It's my way of preparing my body for some two a days sometime in the not too distant future. | |
