Personal:

born in 1964. married 25 years. one wife one dog

"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

am - easy 8 - bassackwards rainbow loop w/crestview laps

730am - mostly cloudy, a few raindrops, breezy, mid 60's

pm - 3 on the treadmill - pretty tired today. trying to build up the miles as quick as my old man body will let me. it used to take just a few weeks to ramp up to 50+ mpw. currently, i've put three months of focused effort into it and still haven't gotten there, but will hit 50 mpw in another week or two - not complaining though. i'm really grateful to be able to run, and to physically improve. i know guys my age who are havng just the opposite experience with their physical lives. running is like a fountain of youth.
