Personal:

Pride necessarily sprouts and grows; a pride that can only come from relentless kneading of unwilling flesh, painful months of grinding and burning away all that is heavy, all that is strength-sapping and useless to the body as a projectile. --John L. Parker, Jr., runner/author

AM:  10 Miles in 69:38 on a nice morning in the low 70s in Little Rock.  

I ran the very challenging 10-Mile Loop that has become a staple since I moved into Midtown; ran east from house on Evergreen (or H Street), crossing over Kavanaugh to Lookout, where I pick up the LR Marathon Course for nearly 5 Miles (roughly Miles 16 - 21); after the northern dash down Lookout and the rhythmic pounding on the River Trail, I pushed hard up Overlook (2/3-mile climb) and through the hills of Camack Village knowing that 70 minutes was a possibility; with no traffic on a Sunday just past 6:00 am, I opted for the usually busy Cantrel pavement as I picked it up for the last half-mile, turning back down Hughes to my house.

Great run...home before the wife, kids, or even the dog stirred.

PM:  5 Easy Miles in 38:41 on a hot afternoon.
