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

8 Miles of work; hot and tired but glad to have a spouse, in-laws, and kids that understand running is necessary for my sanity, even on 3-4 hours of sleep.

If I hit 60 this week, it will be a moral victory.

3 Miles around the paved trail at the neighborhood park while my kids chased me on their bikes.

Positive is that I ran every day this week...negative is the number: 52.

AM:  10 Miles on paved trail around neighborhood park behind my house; after a two+mile warm-up, I ran 4X200m, 2X400m, 2X800m, 1X1200m, and 1X1600m at approximately 6:00 pace. This proved more difficult at 5:00 am with nothing in my system.

PM:  7 Miles in 47:00 even on a muggy afternoon of 90 degrees along the Arkansas River Trail, including a couple miles of trails. More spring in my legs than expected so I cruised along at 6:43/mile, despite having my trail shoes on.

Total:  17 Miles.

17 Miles right at 2 hrs, 15 mins during the hottest part of the day, starting from Two Rivers Bridge at 4 pm; proceeded west for a beautiful 8-mile loop before crossing back over onto Little Rock (South) side of Arkansas River Trail headed southeast toward mid-town; 2 Miles of trails at Mile 11 and Mile 15 (Alsop Park).  

Good run.

12 Miles on a hot and muggy day along the Arkansas River Trail; first 10 Miles with Dave, who continues to impress with his consistent training.

Came home and push mowed my yard for 1.5 hours.

Sweaty afternoon...wife and kids wouldn't touch me!

20 Miles in 2:25:14 on a overcast, perfect morning for running; east from house downtown toward State Capitol, then to the Clinton Library, turning south across Clinton Bridge into North Little Rock, then back east on the Arkansas River Trail through Burns Park and up and over the Big Dam Bridge back into Little Rock; last 3.5 Miles from base of BDB up overlook through Camack Village back to my home in midtown.

Strong effort to follow-up on yesterday's tempo run.

B2B 20s, Day 2, 2:28:15 (7:25); 3 minutes off yesterday's time (2:25:14) in my MT 110s, which aren't exactly desiged for pavement, but I wanted to see how they treated my feet on a longish run with a couple of hard climbs and descents; another great morning, 68 degrees at 5:50 am when I headed out.

Out the door at 4:00 am, with temps already in the mid-70s, for 40 Miles in 5:26:58 (8:10). Dave joined me for Miles 16 through 31, and I actually averaged sub-8:00 through Mile 36 before turning up overlook for a steep, 0.75 Mile climb (most of which I walked). Time includes 4-5 one minute or so stops to take gels (4) and chews (1 bag, 2 servings).
