am--11 Big 8k (in more than one way) workout. I did this on the grass at the SC Rugby field. The field isn't flat like a track, but I needed a softer surface today. The workout went well. Although, it took some real focus on the 1ks and the last few repeats. (The workout was 4x (1000, 400, and 600 at 8k pace w/ equal recovery).) What a workout. I'm beat. Finished up w/ 4x striders. It's good to be back to the routine. Happy St. Patrick's Day. RHR--50. 

pm--4 Of all the days to double. I did anyway and erged 1k after. I also realized that the workout this morning was a misreading. Only the 1000s were supposed to be repeated. That made for an extra 3k. Maybe, I'll chalk it up as a big boy workout. 

I finished another book--The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday. It's a book based heavily on Stoicism. (There is a great video on YouTube about this book.) There are a lot of concepts that really resonate with me in the book and stories about Lincoln, Washington, Grant, Gandhi, Steve Jobs, etc. On the other hand, I cringe when there's a mention of a hedge fund manager or the author refers to Stoicism as an "operating system." Nevertheless, I enjoyed the book even though Holiday seems to be still developing the skills to communicate his message. These young authors, like Holiday, who proclaim a way to live life leave me curious. How do they gain so much wisdom so quickly? Perhaps, I need to read his more recent book, Ego is the Enemy, because my ego seems to be prowling.
