"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

4 easy miles at the MFT (track) with wife and dogs. i woke up feeling slightly under the weather and wasn't going to run today but figured it was better to get a little fresh air and light exercise rather than do nothing at all.  so this makes three runs in a row of feeling poopy. that's a lot of poop. hope whatever it is passes soon.

now off to dinner gathering #1 of 3 this weekend. let the germ swapping begin!

happy Thanksgiving fellow blogules!

easy 8 / had a couple hours at work this morning so i ran afterwards from the shop. i was quite discouraged after yesterdays run, the worst of a three day stretch of bad runs. so it was with great relief that i covered 8 miles today and began feeling some of the old familiar strength back in my legs, i took it real easy and just enjoyed the great weather and relatively quiet roads. now i'm late to Thanksgiving gathering #2 of 3 ( #3 is sunday night). grateful for this running habit.
