"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

I haven't completely ruled out the possibility of getting a short trail run in before the day is done.

Edit: okay, now I have completely ruled out the possibility of a run today. But on a positive note: I am eating ANOTHER doughnut.

Tonight will be my first treadmill run since like March I think. Couldn't get it done today. I won't run the roads at night. Early mornings are good because traffic is light. In the evenings however, especially near the holidays, traffic is ridiculous. Must be that 'ol Christmas spirit taking hold.

I hope my old $75 treadmill still works.

5 miles /42:17 / 8:27 avg. +.5 mi. @ 9:00 pace barefoot. This was my first TM run in over 8 months.

The few short barefoot runs I've done have been on grass, this was the first on a treadmill.

Treadmill still works.

An exhilarating, adventurous, dynamic, awe-inspiring, life-on-the-edge inducing, 3 mile treadmill run.
