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

20.5 Miles in 2:44:52 on a warm morning, climbing toward 90 degrees by the time I finished up around 11:15 am.

Dropped off wife's car at Sunset Window Tinting on South University near the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR); ran east along 12th St. Toward downtown, but turned south on Park so I could run by Little Rock Central High School, then back east past Governor's Mansion, ultimately weaving my way to the Little Rock National Cemetery; turned north out of cemetery on Confederate Blvd up to Roosevelt, entering Heifer International and Clinton Presidential Center and Park from south (back entrance rarely used); crossed over Clinton Bridge into North Little Rock briefly along Arkansas River Trail, but then back north into Little Rock on Broadway Bridge to Capitol Ave; turned west to State Capitol, past "Little Rock 9" sculpture and reflecting pool; continued east along Markham, then northeast up Kavanaugh, covering the toughest three-mile stretch of the Little Rock Marathon course (Miles 13 - 16), which were coincidentally my workout Miles 12.75 - 15.75; south on Van Buren across Markham and all the tailgaters getting fired up for the Razorback game later today at War Memorial Stadium; continued south on Fair Park all the way to Asher, turning west, then quickly back north, onto University; last mile past UALR campus and back to Sunset Window Tinting.

Stumbled into a third consecutive 100 Mile week.

43 Miles in 5:49:37 (8:08); 3:44 am start from my parents' house west along Hwy. 171 then Hwy. 84 toward Bismark; negative split; 5 gels, 2 bags of chews (4 servings), 3 20 oz gatorades and 1 20 oz water.

Good, strong run on a beautiful morning of 53 degrees climbing toward 70 degrees by 9:30 am when I finished.

Limited time today, and a short, efficient workout is probably what I needed anyway to wake up my legs.

Running on fumes...13 Miles in 1:31:55 (7:04) on the Illinois Dedicated [Nature] Preserve Trail (DPT) in my new Brooks Pure Cadences; Miles 12 and 13 in around 12 minutes, as my wife's cousin, Omar, pushed my pace hard on his bike.

Omar's an excellent cyclist, and the DPT is a gem if anyone ever has the opportunity to visit the Chicago suburbs just south of Wisconsin.

4 Miles on a nice, but humid morning around the loop at the neighborhood park; 4 striders; 6 pancakes immediately after. Also walked to and from church twice, chased my kids around the house, and raked leaves for an hour or so. Wesley
