"…each day I take to the roads as a beginner, a child, a poet. Seeking the innocence of the beginner, the wonder of the child and the vision of the poet. Hoping for new appreciation of the landscape, a new perspective of my inner world , some new insights on life, a new response to existence and myself.

There are times, more often than the good times, when I fail. I never do pierce the shield. I return with a shopping list of things to do tomorrow. The miraculous has gone unseen. The message has gone unheard. I have had one of those loveless days on a lovely day for love.

Still, there is always the chance I'll have beginner's luck. And this run, this hour, this day may begin in delight and end in wisdom."

feeling strong

After Sunday's long run I was a bit self conscious of my stomach. However it behaved well today. About 15 minutes before the run I had two pinole (prepared by my Mom) instead of a powerbar.
Gorgeous weather today in Flagstaff, no wind, sunny, and really warm for this time of the year, 49oF.

I did 8.6 miles, pace 8:43m/mile. I felt strong and fresh today. Looking forward to this week!
