"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 around 8:30 am. Ran from the house to Legacy Parkway Trail, out and back home. Beautiful weather with clear skies and temps between 50 to 60 degrees. Wore short sleeves, shorts and gloves. Carried small, hand held water bottle. Gu at miles 6, 10, and 14.5.  Didn't feel warmed up until around mile 4, then pretty good until the tenth mile. Hit a pretty rough patch around mile 10, but knew that like the ravioli I ate last night, that I chased with a tall glass of chocolate milk, this too would pass. Struggled a bit until the last couple of miles, which were the fastest of the run.

Very happy to have run long today. Very happy it's done.

Ran late this afternoon on LPT, out and back. Tailwind out, headwind back. Clear skies, 52 degrees.

No strength or energy today. Just a grin and bear it kind of run.

Slow, easy run on ye olde fire break road this morning.

It was cold (30 degrees).

I'm feeling rather trashed this week. Gotta take the good with the bad.

 

Tonight:

100 situps  /  20 pushups

I want to start doing situps and pushups more consistently so I'm going to post them here and hopefully that will help motivate...
