A step-back week, training-wise. Slight increases in intensity for the weekday tempo and hill repeats workouts; a few steps back for the weekend long runs. Back to 5 hours for Saturday, 2 ½ for Sunday this coming weekend.
Man, is it humid.
In both Zen and running practice, continuing. And not much else to say for now, really. Events seem to be at that lowest ebb tide, which the Taoists see as the end of one cycle and beginning of another. What is beginning? I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.
