Timeless silence, except for the crunching of my feet, the heavy, rhythmic breathing of the forest’s only moving creature—me. I would run an hour and 15 minutes this morning—10 miles at a 7:30 pace.
I ran 7 1/2 miles in an hour every Monday through Friday morning when I was a law student. That’s 8 minutes a mile which is close to what he was doing! I’d have run for another hour if I had time.
