Personal:

Keep close to Nature's heart...and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods.  Wash your spirit clean. --John Muir

 

I stole this from Tom's blog because I really like it:

Hudson tidbit: "When it's done right, the long-term training process is like an asymptote. The line that the training process moves toward but never reaches is 'perfect training'.....while it's impossible to train perfectly, it is possible to train better and better."

Just lifted weights yesterday because my leg hurt pretty bad after Friday's 8 miles.  Ran 7 today and felt pretty good.  The leg pain is sure to flare up again later today.  Knees started hurting for the first time since May.  I think it's because I got lazy about taking my glucosamine.  I'm back on the full dosage and hoping the knees will go back to cooperating.  It really is always something....

1:15, not a bad time.  Being out there for more than 6 miles was great for my head, but the leg was still painful the whole time.

Had a beautiful 10 mile run this morning after convincing my leg to cooperate.  Since the leg cooperated, I didn't push it.  Just enjoyed the warm sun and blue sky and felt grateful to be doing 10 milers again.  1:41
