.
Running 6 miles at 5:40 when your body doesn't feel like it can run 6 miles at 5:40 is the difference between achieving and over-achieving. Sometimes putting your faith in the hands of a benevolent outside mentor -- in this case, a schedule -- can lead you to places you not have otherwise ventured.

Why is it sideways?
Lots of good stuff... There are times that running by feel will take you down the wrong path. That is my idle speculation. I'm hoping that as this experiment plays out, I'll have an enormous base, strong and capable legs and the ability to let go of the reins once in a while. The question at the end of all this is, how do you know when you've done enough "knowing and doing?"

The mature runner is able to appreciate not only the thrill of scars and knives, but the more subtle pleasure of restraint, the controlled pace, the calm sensibility of the easy day.
