"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

No running today. At about mile 2 into my 14 mile run yesterday, the outside arch of my right foot started hurting. It wasn't bad enough to stop running. Though it was sore the rest of the day and last night, it didn't feel like it was getting any worse. Today it feels better but is still present. So I decided not to run and give another day to heal. I hope that's all it needs. This week is going to be an easy week anyway as work is going to be crazy.

8.6 miles / 1:14:54 / 8:43 avg. Lunch run from work. Sunny, 38F. Lot's of energy today and legs felt great. Went easy so as to not aggravate the arch situation in my right foot. No arch pain! But the back of my right heel felt pretty tender. This is a chronic condition I've had for several months, but today it felt worse. I assume the arch pain is related to the heel pain etc. Going to continue monitoring everything and run easy this week. 

Mile splits: 9:03, 9:06, 8:47, 8:52, 8:43, 8:43, 8:29, 8:19, +.6 @ 8:04 pace. ( I like to speed up at the end of my runs).

AM - Easy commute run. 9.1 miles / 9:52 avg. from home to work. It's been awhile since I've run early in the morning. I've always wanted to run to work but couldn't figure out a route that wouldn't involve lots of rush hour traffic and narrows shoulders etc. Thanks to Andy (on the blog), who had blogged about running on the "Kaysville Poop Trail" as he calls it, or KPT, I suddenly had my route. The trail lays over an old rail line, and I didn't know it existed.  It's a 3.7 mile run from my house to get to the trail and it spits me out about a mile from my work place. Perfect. The first two miles from my house there is some traffic to deal with, but then it's quiet secondary streets, and then of course the trail way, which is very peaceful and has a rural element to it. The last mile of the run is mostly a low traffic residential street and then a cut through a bank parking lot and then across Main street which fronts our shop. I ran a very easy pace this morning and just enjoyed being in slow motion.

PM- Ran home. 9.1 miles / 8:21 avg. The run home was the most fun I've had on a run in a while. Mile splits: 8:05, 8:23, 8:16, 8:39, 837, 8:11, 8:19, 8:23, 8:23, + .1 @ 7:44 pace.
