"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

9.35 miles - i almost wimped out and drove home before the race because of the crazy wind - but i saw all the others out there who were going to do it and figured i could at least try. as usual, it paid off because it was a good solid run for me. so glad i ran this series this year. last year i had only raced three times and the last one was a 5k at the beginning of july. participating in this series forced me to jump right back into race mode and gave me a good appraisal of where my speed (or lack thereof) is. today's run felt good, and in spite of the head wind coming back i had a 37 second negative split. something i've noticed - though i lack speed, i have decent endurance. several runners who finished just ahead of me in the 5k, i either beat, or closed the gap in the 10k, and then i outright finished ahead of them in the 15k. 

it was great to see the leaders on their way back, the first 4 were Jake, Fritz, Walter, and Rob Murphy - all FRB, pretty cool!

splits: 8:03, 7:56, 7:53, 7:41, 7:31, 7:35, 7:53, 7:41, 7:54, + .33@7:19. eh, i can improve on that.

today marks 62 days consecutive running - a PR for me (i ran 61 days last Fall).
