"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

14 miles / 8:38 avg. early, from the shop - rio grand parkway north. 

4 miles easy, then 5 miles @ HM pace, then 2 easy miles, one more mile @ attempted HM pace, 2 miles easy. 5 mile tempo averaged 7:53 per mile. 1st mile was too slow but i made it up in the remaining 4 miles. all i had this morning before the run was one banana, coffee, and water. i had plenty of energy throughout the run.

i'm relieved this workout went well today. it's been a weird several weeks with the running and low energy, and really slow paces, so it's nice to get a decent workout in. the best part is that i don't feel beat down afterwards! my warmups are slower and longer now - i don't know if that's going to be permanent or if it will pass. i hope it passes.  going to take an easy three days then run a half marathon on monday!
