"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. Early lunch run at the nature preserve. Overcast, 57 degrees. Mostly buggy. Started out doing loops on the mile long boardwalk loop but the bugs kicked me out so I had to venture out to the roads to complete my run. 8:52 avg.

dang bugs. Good work homeslice, Im sure your gum's weren't getting in the way of being completely irritated at all at the bugs. You kept it completely under control Im sure.

Nice recovery miles. You seem to have jumped right back into things rather well. I hate bugs; we have gnats right now, and we end up with them stuck all over us after a run. EEWWW!

It stinks to have bugs out on your run... I think I have eated or breathed in a few in my time running.

Bugs on the run. Sounds like a new charity organization.

Your legs seem to be recovering nicely. I hope your mouth is doing the same.

Lysa - my gums don't bug me much while running.

Thanks Auntieem - it must be gnat season everywhere.

Lori - all runners subsist on a seasonal diet of bugs.

Good one Carolyn. An NPO. Or maybe an exterminator.

Way to get in some good miles so soon after your Ogden race. I am sure you passed me at one point. Great job on a PR. And looks like a great recovery all ready.
