"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

No run today. Everything but my legs feels totally recovered from the 50 miler. Actually I've got some tingling in my toes on my left foot, like my foot is trying to fall asleep or something. Weird. Maybe I should give my foot some mela"toe"nin to help it along.

Hey, I can see me in that picture (well, my car, ME there in spirit).

My legs are trashed. Will they EVER feel normal again?

Nice workout yesterday, I am impressed you can do speed with the legs already.

I love that everything but your legs feel better. :)

It's your birthday?! Happy Birthday!

I'd be wiped out from the 12 you ran yesterday, let alone the 50 you ran 9 days ago. You're doing great.
