"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

was on the fence about running today. i've run 10 days in a row, and i feel great. but figured no harm would come from a rest day. turns out the sun is out for the first time all week. figures. i was outside doing yard work and thinking that i might just as well go for a short run, but after an hour in the cold i decided that i'm a little burnt out on running in the cold so i've made a final decision that i absolutely, positively, and unreservedly will NOT run today.

lol!

13.1 miles / 1:46:52 / 8:09 avg. bluff trail/roads. oversmog, <30F.

felt great today. after the first 3 miles i decided to do 1 mile on/1 off for the rest of the run.  each "on" mile got faster, which is good. as an added bonus i ran this in my super light weight, zero drop Hattori's.

splits: 8:35, 8:26, 8:22, 7:45, 8:38, 7:37, 8:25, 7:37, 8:35, 7:33, 8:47, 7:27, 8:18.

10 miles / easy pace. didn't get started until after 4:30 pm. ran from work to the high school track (that's 9 miles on the track, for those of you who are keeping count), then back to work. wasn't sure what to expect today after yesterdays solid run. though my pace was slow today, i felt strong and energetic. 9:25 avg.

10.5 very easy miles. from work. sun, temps were warm (30F+) but there was a brisk north west wind which kept things cool. legs were tired right from the start. i've found that if i just go easy and put some miles on tired legs, it pays off in the next run or two. my first two miles were 10:00 and 10:02. ended up averaging 9:25 avg. for the run.
