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?

8.17 3 miles easy

8.18 1.5 miles warm up. 10 k in 33:22 (3rd place). 1 mile cool down. My legs felt like total junk--Im pleased with the result based on how I felt. I need to use this week as a recovery. Im a little burnt out and in a rut.

8.7 miles total

8.20 7.15 miles easy.

8.21 3.25 miles AM easy. 2.75 miles PM easy. 6 miles total.
