"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

Nice weather for running outside today. Overcast, 37F, no wind. Shorts, two layers on top, glove liners. Ran from house...I guess I'd call this course the Glovers Lane Loop.

No run today. I didn't sleep well last night and was feeling off all day, so I opted for a short nap during run time.

I did stomp around in the hills with my dogs, and a buddy with his dogs. It's really warm out tonight (37F) with fresh snow on the ground, and clear skies, and a couple of quality beverages...good for the soul.

Another good weather day for running. Sunny, 38F, little if any wind. Shorts, two top layers, glove liners. Ran out to Glovers Lane, along the cattle road (packed slush, hard on the pace miles 4 through 7), then back via 200 West.

Got out around noon. Overcast skies, 40F, headwind no matter which direction I ran. Shorts, two top layers, glove liners.

Ran from the house North on Hwy 89 to Davis high school and back. It's about 4.5 miles to Davis high. I envision running out there in the summer to do speed work on the track, then running back home. 

Just didn't feel it today. Heavy legs, low energy.  Still better than the alternative.

6.7 millacious miles. 65F inside the house, a load of whites in the washing machine.

When I got home from work what I wanted to do was find a dark corner with soft blankets and pillows, curl up there in a fetal position, and enjoy the silence...instead I ran on the treadmill. Go figure.

Easy run outside around the neighborhood. Mostly sunny, 25F, light breeze coming from the North. Shorts, long sleeve mock-T under short sleeves, glove liners, baseball cap (should've worn full winter hat).

The sun was out and so was I. Ahhhhh...
