"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

3 miles. 12:12 PM, sun, 78F. Hopefully running long tomorrow but I didn't want to skip a day so went to the 1/2 mile track and ran 3. Mile 2 was a 6:45 the other two miles much slower.

25.1 miles / 9:56 avg. Started from home and ran all over the place. 9:45 AM, sunny and 50F, by the time I got done it was 66 degrees. Great running weather. Stuck to the roads but still ended up with about 2400 ft vert. for the run. Ran the first 15 miles with just my 16 oz. hand held bottle. My first stop at mile 15 was at a little nature preserve where I had a half gallon of water cached. There's a 1.2 mile trail there, pea gravel, wooden step bridges etc. I did a couple of laps on that, topped off my hand held and finished the rest of the half gallon, and continued on. I hit a really low point around mile 21 and I thought, "well, that's it; I'll be bonking my way through the last 4 miles". I walked a total of .4 miles in mile 22, and then rallied. My fastest miles of the run were the last two! I can't tell you how happy that makes me. Usually once the crap starts hitting the fan I'm finished. So hopefully this means that I'm starting to get some of the fueling strategy down for the longer runs.

My total mileage for the week that ends today is 69.5.

4.2 miles. From work, 10:30 AM. Sun 68F. Just out assessing the immediate effect from yesterday's long run. No soreness, which makes sense because though I ran pretty far yesterday, I ran at a very easy pace. I am fatigued though, very much so. Interesting challenge on today's run as I felt as though I would drop off to sleep at any moment. I don't feel tired, it feels like an exhaustion welling up into my head, threatening to knock me out on a whim.

7 miles / 58:52 / 8:24 avg. The only way I was going to get a run in today was on the treadmill at home; and so it is.  Made up a mini workout to keep me going:

2 mi. wu @ 8:55 pace

2 miles @ 7:54, 7:42

1/2 mi. easy (9:15 pace?)

1 mile @ 7:30

1.5 cd @ 8:51 pace.
