8.2.10 4.5 miles in 38 minutes. This was a recovery day after a hard week.
8.3.10 8.5 miles total 2.5 miles warm up. 5k cross country race on trails in 16:46 (not all out either!) 3 mile cool down. I mountain biked for 2.5 hours before race, so Im very happy with the results.
8.4.10 8.5 miles 1.5 miles slow then alternating 1700 meter tempo splits on a trail--3 fast ones in 6:18, 5:30, 5:14. These were primarily downhill. In between each tempo interval I ran 1700 meters. Cool down with 1.75 miles slow. I never rested during the entire run. Im pleased with the workout. Im feeling much stronger lately.

57.5 total miles for the week
As a youth, I ran, yet I did not exist in a sense. 19 years passed. Today, I exist in one sense because I must run. Perhaps I run to escape the futility of my existence. Perhaps not. In either case, this blog, or whatever it is, will serve to chronicle my training as a runner, my development as a man, and ultimately my demise as a human, because all things pass, fade, retreat into the horizon--and while we run, as we run, the mirage that is the shimmering, glimmering future continues to assert itself just out of reach. And yet, as this picture up above connotes, it may still be beautiful. And so the question may be what is IT? What is it? What is IT?
