"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

Easily the most sore I have felt the day after a long run. Quads and calves are shot. Love that feeling!

The only problem with these long mountain runs (Saturday), is they take me out for so many days. My garmin stopped recording elevation data after mile 18 for some reason. By then I had climbed over 7,200 feet. Miles 18 through 25 were mostly downhill though, just a couple of short climbs, so I'm estimating about 8,000 feet of ascent/descent on the run. More than that though, I think it was the technical nature of the course that got to me, and the 7 hours of "running". All in good fun, can't wait for September's long mountain run!

Hopefully I can run tomorrow.

Hiked around for about an hour in the foothills with the dogs. Good to get the legs working a little. Looking forward to running again tomorrow.
