5.27 50 mile race in 6:39:08. This was the first time I ever raced more than a half marathon. It was at the Pineland Running festival over very nonflat terrain. I started out at 7 minute pace for the first 25 miles and then absolutely fell apart. I also injured my knee kind of bad.
81 miles total 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?
