"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

3 miles on the treadmill - 9:15

930am - 68F in the house, though it's slightly cooler in the kitchen, which is where i put the treadmill two days ago when i moved it from work to the house. so the first half mile or so of the run today was spent on and off the hamster wheel making adjustments, shimming corners etc. our house is old and the floors aren't 100% level. anyway i think i got the treadmill dialed in and ready for many more mind numbing miles down the road.

WT 24 miles
