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?

6.28-7.4.10

6.28.10 9.3 miles in 67 minutes--fair amount of hills, too

6.29 1 mile warm up 8X400's with 100 recovery in between (about 36 seconds) 78,77,79,78,78,78,80,77--jog half mile then 4 by 200s with 200 jog in between (65 seconds) 36,34,34,33

6.30 11 miles in 1:15:53--about 6:54 pace--lots of hills in this route, but it felt easy. I ran within this run 2 ten minute surges at about 75 percent. Im really surprised at how much stronger I am feeling. Consistency would seem to be the key with training and it is starting to really pay dividends.

7.1.10 5 miles in 41 minutes. I felt dead tired, as I have been training pretty hard.

7.2.10 11.2 miles in 1:25. I felt pretty decent here.

7.3.10 OFF

7.4.10 11 miles in 1:14:39--about 6:47 pace--I mixed in about seven 2 minute surges here. It was very hot while I ran

53.5 miles this week
