"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

10 miles in the cold wind and rain. Under dressed. Numb. From work. I didn't realize how intensely cold and numb I had gotten during the run until a few minutes after I had finished. I must have looked a little crazy to my coworkers - in a daze, bloody nipples, and a big grin.8:26 avg.
