"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

Ran from the house down clarke lane to the "ranches" South to Glovers, East on Glovers to LPT then North to Clarke and East to home. AW rode along on her mt.bike. We got out around 11:30 with a break in the rain. 52 degrees. Perfect running weather if not for the strong South wind. Otherwise a good run.
