7.18 4 miles easy. My legs were jello and I need to go easy for a couple days.
7.19 5.8 miles easy.
7.20 6.2 miles at night easy--it was very muggy.
7.21 OFF.
7.22 5 miles morning Easy. 7.5 miles PM Easy. Very warm--hard to breathe.
7.23 10 mile progression run with first 3 miles with my son. Out on the roads in Somersworth. Splits were 8:00, 7:34, 6:57, 6:40, 6:35, 6:20, 6:13, 6:04, 5:48, 5:34. Total time 65:45. Excellent effort--very warm.
7.24 5 miles easy.
45.5 miles total. recovery Week with one good effort. I feel a little disconnected from running/racing right now.
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?
