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?

I felt like total junk today--Im not really sure why, but I knew I had no zip whatsoever in my legs when I did my strides before hand. I dont know--I just had no zip today and just bagged it halfway through and held on for third place. I dont like racing in Dover apparently--lol.

I may take a few days off--I dont know--I might not. I feel pretty lethargic and bummed.

10.2 3 miles easy on treadmill.

Forgettable week.

34.25 miles total
