"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

15.4 miles / 8:56 avg. Extended lunch run, from work. Sunny, temps low to mid 70's. Anytime I run from work means I'm running some hills. Today was about 1,650 ft. up/down,  which is great for fitness, not great for pace. Really glad to get this run in before the month ends so as to get my minimum 200 miles for the month. Water stops at miles 7, 9, and 12. Gu at 10 mile.

7 miles / 57:54 / 8:16 avg. 9:45 AM, Sun, temps in the high 60's. From work.

After a warm up mile (9:16), I determined I was feeling good and thought maybe doing some intervals, but it felt good to just keep a steady pace. So I tried to avoid hills and keep a good pace going for the remainder of the run. Splits for mile 2-7: 8:30, 7:47, 7:54, 8:05, 8:09, 8:11.

By the way. You've heard of restless leg syndrome. Well, I've got restless upper body syndrome. Has anyone ever experienced this. It like an unquenchable tingling/tickling sensation in my shoulder and upper back. It's extremely uncomfortable. It started 4 or 5 days ago and seems to be increasing in frequency/intensity. Someone recommended more iron in my diet. Any one have any thoughts or suggestions?
