What’s with the White Stuff?
Aside from a pandemic, what else could upset race training plans? There are unavoidable circumstances and there are avoidable ones. Last week it was the latter in the form of a stomach virus. I should have known better when I noticed the unnatural white edging around the leftover vegetables. It’s just that the idea of throwing away food offends me. Well, apparently the food offended me, anyway. Last week was actually a planned down week for me in terms of mileage. It just turned out to be downer. Because of white stuff around the Shawmont route, the planned 14-mile run would be around a local neighborhood instead. By the 2-mile mark, that planned 14-miler with tempo segments became just a plain 14-miler. By the 4-mile mark, the 14-miler became an 8-miler. By the 6-mile mark, it nearly became an Uber call to my wife. I did survive to write this lesson-learned(?) Rumination: If it’s not one kind of white stuff, let’s not let it be another that’s the spoiler.

Nonrunners cannot see how they can afford the time to run every day. But runners cannot imagine getting through a single day without it.
--- Kevin Nelson, The Runner’s Book Of Daily Inspiration
I was looking for God during the last mile, but I didn’t see Him. I guess He finished ahead of me too.
--- Albert Mabus, Last male finisher at the 2001 Nittany Valley Half Marathon
Running has gone beyond fitness. The jogging movement, which began as a pursuit of health, has become an experiential quest.
---- George Sheehan, physician, runner and author of books and articles on running
