"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

Isn't it great when you can call 8 miles easy?

You're really doing a great job at getting the miles in.

WOW!!! Look at your week so far. You are a RUNNER! The weather has cooperated so far for nice afternoon running, I love it. I can sleep in!

So, is the great dane a puppy?

From JD on Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 16:24:59 from 64.65.159.206

RP - Thanks. Also, thanks for the funny pics on your blog!

CiC - The pace is easy, but I could have stopped at 3 miles and been pretty happy.

Kelli - Thanks. It's been a decent weather week hasn't it? The great dane is one and a half yrs. old. But she's still quite the puppy!
