"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

3 miles / 8:55 avg. on the MFT with wife and dogs. cloudy, cold, wind out of the north. yesterday morning's little cold turned into a full blown snot-sorethroat-achyjoints fest as the day progressed. i fell asleep around 10:30 pm (this never happens), and i didn't get out of bed until 9:00 am. i was feeling good for a couple of hours this morning, but then started to fade pretty quickly. this running streak goal is really a blessing because i think without it i wouldn't have run today, and probably would have been worse off for it. hopefully i'll feel better tomorrow and pick up more miles as the week progresses.

12.2 miles - from work to the rio grand parkway, out north and back. 4 very easy miles, then 1 min. on/off x 20, then 3-ish very easy miles to finish. 8:42 avg for the run. 100th consecutive day in a row (my last day off was christmas 2011). determining to run everyday has really simplified my life and helps to subsidize the slacker in me. not being a very strong runner to begin with, running everyday has definitely made me a stronger runner.

WT 53.8 miles

one hundred (let the celebration begin)

* 825.5 miles/100 days = 8.255 miles per day. for me, not bad. but i hope to bring that up a bit by the end of the year.

8 miles / 8:21 avg. from work to the h.s. track. 3 miles easy, then 4 x 1/4 mi. with a 1/4 rest in between. goal was 90 seconds, splits: 89. 88. 93, 87. i thought i'd better just do four reps since i haven't done any speed work for quite awhile. just getting my feet wet today. this felt really good and i'm looking forward to doing similar workouts once or twice a week now.

mile splits: 9:02, 8:44, 8:32, 7:39, 7:47, 8:31, 8:13, 8:29
