"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

Run on the treadmill. Mile six was a "tempo" mile I guess. Also threw in several "surges" or "intervals"  of 2 to 4 minutes throughout the run. I've yet to plan a workout, just run by feel. For example today I thought perhaps I'd do 6 miles easy as a recovery run after yesterdays 14 miler, as I was pretty tired today, and still feeling some linger illness from a couple of days ago, but I felt pretty good after a couple of miles so I went further and harder than I thought I would.

Running on the treadmill tonight was a lot like running in place, with a rubber belt moving beneath me. I couldn't shake that unnerving feeling that I was stuck...on a treadmill.

No run today...hopefully run tommorrow. Still not feeling right. I want to rest well tonight, do a bit of stretching, and hopefully wake up ready to go. We'll see...

4 easy on the treadmill this morning. Feeling tired, running late etc. Hopefully I can run more tonight.

6 miles this evening at the jr high field with the dogs. Happy dogs.

Between the treadmill this morning and running on grass tonight, today was a very low impact day. Kind of nice.

Great run from the house down to the trailway, then out and back. Mostly cloudy skies, mid fifties, a light sprinkle the last couple of miles...perfect running weather. T-shirt and shorts in the middle of November in Northern Utah...awesome!

This morning from the house to LPT out & back. Really nice morning. 38F, clear skies.

Due to this lingering cold, chest, head? thing, I'm running five days this week rather than six. I've also been managing this little twinge thingy in my left knee that I haven't blogged about yet because so far it hasn't stopped or slowed me down. I've been icing every night and actually I didn't feel it at all during yesterdays ten miler...so I think in the sprit of caution, I'll take tommorrow off to give my system a good break. I'll run tonight so I can still get my fifty for the week though.

PM - 4 miles on the treadmill.
