Personal:

"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

7 miles / 8:06 avg. From work - post rain. Comfortable temps. Felt good so I tried to pace up a bit. For my ability level, an 8:06 average pace represents a solid effort training run.

Nice ability level! Running at ability level is a sign of dedication. I am going to plug my next run into the ability level calculator, and hope for good news.

@Kam - it rained for almost an hour in Layton at around 9:30 AM. My wife said Farmington got a little rain too. Isolated storms.
