8.22 7.5 easy miles (51:36)
8.23 1.65 miles followed by 2 hours of tennis
8.24 6.85 miles (47:14)
8.25 3.25 miles warm up on roads. 4 by Half Miles with 90 seconds of jogging on my street. 2:16, 2:23, 2:25, 2:26. Roughly 2.5 miles total. I am not sure my GPS is entirely accurate so on my last 3 reps I ran what my watch said was .51. Either way, this was the first quasi speed workout I have done in quite a while.
1.25 miles cool down
7 miles total for the day.
8.26 7 miles AM First 3 miles in 22:10 and then I picked it up for 4 miles in about 24:56. I concentrated on my breathing. My legs feel pretty good. Mentally, I feel more into running than I have in a while.
5.25 miles PM easy.
12.25 miles for the day.
8.27 5.25 miles easy.
8.28 TREADMILL at 2% incline. First 7 miles were in 46:20, Last three were hard at 15:55 (roughly 5:13 equivalent. I went from 5:26 to 5:19 to 5:10 at 2% incline. I am pleased with this workout.
10 miles total.
50.5 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?
