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

7.3 miles / Easy. From work. Rain, clouds, sun, and wind. Running is starting to feel good. Still going to keep everything easy indefinitely, until I'm confident I won't re-injure anything.

WT 44.2 miles.

starting to feel good... perhaps the most dangerous time for a healing injury...

glad it's getting better, though...

i'm feeling the same way, and i am following the same plan (and listening to the wise words from nevels)...

Wisdom noted - thanks!

Good news---that you missed the snow storm and that you are feeling good!

Are you doing any good stretches daily??? Take care of that thing or you will be hobbling like me and that would make me sad!

From JD on Tue, May 17, 2011 at 20:02:50 from 70.96.78.149

Yeah, I've been pretty religious about the stretching. I think it has made difference, along with the rest.

That was quite a variety of weather.

Grand.

Glad things are feeling good, J.D.! Don't judge it, good is just good. The only danger is in your mind.

JD, you should check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain

and then you should invent a way to turn it off :)

From JD on Thu, May 19, 2011 at 15:50:31 from 70.96.78.149

So true Auntieem. Good advice.

Allie - thanks for the clarification, the link was very helpful. I'm thinking after Saturday's Rapture, rain won't really be relevant anymore.
