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?

9.8.25 - 9.14.25

I’ve gotten serious about training again. I ran an 18:20 5k two days ago. I want to break 17:30 this fall. I’m 51 years old now…


9.9.25 

- 2 × 1 mile in 5:43, 5:42 with 2:00 rest 
- 2 × 800 in 2:45, 2:46 with 1:00 rest 
- 2 × 400 in 80, 80 with 0:30 rest
- 4 × 200 in 37, 36, 37, 36 with 0:30 rest

9.10.25
10 miles in 73:11. Cruising and felt great. I’m starting to feel that special kind of fitness coming back to me.
