"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 run at 11:37 GST (Garmin Standard Time). Weather, clear, sunny skies 55F.
Well, I've had so many good runs in a row, I guess I was due a bad run. I had wanted to run 16 to 18 miles today but this run ended up being a "progression" run. That is, I felt bad when the run started and it got progressively worse as I continued. I wouldn't mind so much if I knew what happened. My breathing and my energy level was fine. All the bad ju-ju was in my legs. Everything below the waist just seem to fall apart and I don't know why. Very frustrating!
Oh and I learned an important lesson while showering after the run...I wash my hair every couple of weeks with white vinegar...um, let's just say that vinegar and chafe zones don't mix very well. |

Haven't run yet today, so I guess I'm posting just for fun. Whew! This sure is fun! Anyway, I guess I'm not much of a morning runner. I was running in the mornings pretty consistently three months ago. Three months ago temperatures were in the 80's and 90's in the afternoon, so that was great motivation to get up early and run and avoid the heat. The last few weeks though, temps have been very cold in the mornings but warming up to mid fifties or so in the afternoons, so more often than not, I opt for the afternoon run in shorts and t-shirt, rather than bundling up in layers for a morning run. Plus, I've been running so much more these last few months than ever in my life, so the extra rest has been helpful. I do run a couple of days a week early in the morning just to remind myself that I can deal with the cold temps and early rising. I have a feeling though that when the weather gets really ugly, I'll be choosing the treadmill over an outdoor run...without the treadmill, I would be forced to face the elements, and would probably be a stronger runner for it. Either way, running whenever and wherever I can is becoming essential to my overall well being...
Supposed to hit 60F this afternoon, nice conditions for a run.
Ran from the house up Farmington Canyon rd to the firebreak rd (aka Bonneville Shoreline Trail) south 2 miles and back. The first two miles of this course climb about 700 ft , then the course rolls for a couple of miles, then of course a big descent on the way back. Good run. |

This morning from the house to LPT, out & back. Clear skies, 35F, no wind. Shorts, long sleeves, gloves and cap.
Felt better today than I have in a while.
We get this nasty inversion along the wasatch front when high pressure settles in and traps the pollution from automobiles and industry in the valley. It's especially bad this week, and it's just supposed to get worse until some sort of front blows in, probably not until next week. "They" reccomend no strenuous excersize outdoors, especially for the old and infirm, or infants, or asthma sufferers etc. I don't see how running indoors makes any difference. It's not like our houses are these airlocked oasis's of pristine air. So I'll keep running outside when I can. Maybe this weekend I'll journey to a higher elevation and find some clean air to run in. Sad that this is what we have to deal with. |
