"…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."

lake mary road

today i did my long run, - 14.4 mile in 2hours. it was a hideous run. from mile 4 the left ankle was really bothering me. i was thinking of turning around, but i tried to alter my stride and gait to comfort it. it worked for a bit, i ran from my heel rather than from the mid-foot.
i had no pleasure in running, i only did it for the workout and mileage. i'm really happy that tomorrow is a recovery day.
this week i will increase to 58 miles.

tomorrow i'm going to PHX for a job interview. hopefully something will work out.
