2.17 10 miles AM on treadmill at 2% incline in 67:26. Sort of a progression run. First 6 miles in 42:36. I then picked the pace up from 7:05 per mile to 5:30 per mile for 3.5 miles. I then ran the last half mile in 2:26. My last mile was in 5:21.
11 miles outside PM in 81 minutes.
21 miles for the day.
2.18 18 miles outside. First 3 miles I was at 21:45. I then inadvertently picked it up and was at 35:20 after 5 miles and 61:42 after 9. I ran the last 9 miles in 57:30 with the last 3 in 18:13. Total time was 1:59:12. I felt pretty good.
2.19 12 miles outside in 92 minutes.
92 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?
