am--5 5x 3:00 @ edge of heavy breathing w/ :60 jog recovery and 5x strides after. It was hardish but left me feeling empowered. I need to do stuff like this more often.

Running kind of went off the rails at the end of the week. Nonetheless, this summer has been a good one for reading. This weekend, I finished Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey and The Gnostic Gospels by Elaine Pagels. Both are rereads from years past but enlightening as ever.
