"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

6 miles - treadmill - very easy pace that felt very hard

110pm - house temps

WT 29.8 miles

 

no end of year summary. except to say it took me a long time to work up to the 30-40 miles a week that im generally doing now. after several years of trying to build back a mileage base too quickly for my average and aging body and getting knocked back by injuries and/or fatigue, i finally found enough patience to get to a place where i feel like it's safe to start training again this spring. hopefully a year from now i'll have some fun stats to summarize here on FRB.

Happy New Year!
