"We train every day of the year under all conditions...A junior once asked me:  'What would we do if there was an earthquake and the epicenter was right here?'  My answer was:  'Then we would run down the middle of the Earth!'" - Mario Moniz Pereira

Warmup, 3x2000 (6:30, 6:00, and 5:15/mile paces - solid descending series) with Auburn running club, cooldown.  Good run.

Frosty Freeze 5k this morning.  First race since Pinhoti, soI went in with no expectations and just ran.  I ended up running around a 17:30 for a good tempo, and despite the chilly temps, I think a good time was had by all.

...So a guy with whom I run in Auburn sent me an email saying that he was thinking about trying his first 100 at the Keys Ultras, and he got me thinking about getting ready for another...

dang

"It is a paradoxical but profoundly true and important principle of life that the most likely way to reach a goal is to be aiming not at that goal itself but at some more ambitious goal beyond it." - Arnold Toynbee 

 

As an interesting side note, I just noticed after showering off that a blood blister that I developed during the Pinhoti 100 (exactly 1 month ago today) just popped.  It had already mostly drained but just wouldn't go away completely until now.

I still can't feel the inside of the tip of my left big toe.  Interesting....

7 hours of finals today, all in the same room, and with only a 15 minute break. great day.

"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what." - Harper Lee

You'd think that I'd get my lazy rear end out to run on the day on which I sign up for a new marathon, but no...

(By the way, if anyone's interested, there are still plenty of spots available at the Mississippi Blues Marathon...)

I think this quote is probably more applicable to running than most of my previous ones:

"Pleasure is a by-product of doing something that is worth doing.  Therefore, do not seek pleasure as such.  Pleasure comes of seeking something else, and comes by the way." - A. Lawrence Lowell
