"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

No run today. Run tomorrow.

I just realized that every day is "Casual Friday" for me. In fact, as far as apparel goes, I basically dress the same today as I did in high school. Talk about arrested development!

Race: Squatters Chasing Tail 5K (3.12 Miles) 00:22:46, Place overall: 30, Place in age division: 3

7 miles total. 2.5 mi. warmup. 3.12 race. 1.38 cooldown.

Perfect weather. Fun course. Good cause (therapy dogs). Lots of weaving around participants and their dogs. Very little sleep last night. Nausea in third mile is blamed for the slowdown. Still, a 40 second PR. Drove out with Chad (who is on the blog, so I won't say anything about his race), and Josh  (who is not on the blog and so I can tell you he won the race).

So let's see. At TOU marathon, I stay at Paul Peterson's house...and he WINS the race. I share a ride with Josh Steffan to the 5K today...and HE wins the race...interesting.

Splits for race: 7:12, 7:16, 7:29, + .12 @ 6:54 pace.
