"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 / 8:40 avg. first run on a treadmill in over 4 years. i got a new(used) treadmill a few weeks ago and i've been keeping it here at work until we move into our new(used) house (hopefully later this week!). today was a good day to try my first run on it. works great. kept it at a 1% incline. it's got a little fan on it which doesn't really do much but gives a little flutter of air once in a while. looking forward to doing a lot of speedwork on the machine this winter.

i haven't been running much lately so it felt really good to sweat a little today.

wow. i'm sure not a runner these day. we closed on the house, and are in the process of moving in. the combination of having a house on the market and buying a new one (well, old actually, built in 1909), has provided this hobby jogger with the perfect excuse to forego running for a while. hopefully things will settle down next week and i can get back into a routine.

5 miles - after a full ten days off in a row. first commute to the new house. got home in 4.2 miles and added on to get 5. the commute is generally downhill from home to work and thus uphill getting back home but the course is rolling so it's a nice mix. looking forward to running around the cemetery which is on the route.

5 miles / 8:48 avg. commute to work + cemetary loop. so the cemetary is .75 miles from my house. running the outer perimeter road gets you .65 miles per loop. one side uphill (not steep), the other down. maybe cool for some intervals sometimes.
