"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

Got out just before 10:00 AM. Sunshine, temps started at 40 degrees and reached 47 by the time I got back. Light winds 1-6 mph. Glorious weather compared to the last week or so. Ran from the house to LPT out and back. Slow and easy.

Giving myself the option of cutting back this week depending on how I'm feeling, how work goes, and in anticipation increasing to 70 mpw training specifically for the Ogden half.

 Noon on the Bluff trail (previously refered to as the syracuse trail), SUN, 65F, wind SE at 4-10. Beautiful weather brought everybody out, it was nice to have a little company on the trail.

Easy pace (like I ever run anything else). Picked a good week to cut back as my legs have been feeling a little un-alive the last couple of days. All in all feeling healthy, energetic and strong.

April showers.

Swamped at work.

Hope to get at least a short TM run tonight.

Maybe no run today though...

 

PM - Showers break, the sun comes out, I find time to take my dog on a 4 mile run on the LPT. Saved from the TM!

5:23 AM (Garmin Standard Time), Couldn't sleep so I ran early. From the house to LPT out and back. Mostly cloudy, 43F, light wind. Very easy pace today. Good end to an easy week. Hope to do 60+ next week, then a couple of 70 mile weeks, then short taper, then Ogden Half, then start training for TOU marathon, then win the lottery, then get better looking....
