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: 8 Miles in 61 minutes on a lovely morning in downtown Little Rock. Lots of cyclists and runners out on the Clinton Bridge and River Trail taking advantage of the unseasonably mild weather.

PM: 5 Easy Miles at half-time of the Southeastern Conference Championship. I don't care who wins, actually; just want to see the Dogs or Tide beat Notre Dame by about 40.

Good run.

11.4 Easy Miles in 91 minutes on the TM before work; targeting 75/week for the next four weeks to get my base back where it needs to be going into 2013.

13 Miles in 1:34:52 on a mild day on a couple of old country highways near my parents' home. Averaged about 7:13/mile on a day where I felt the bump in mileage. But I needed a week like this. Legs feel good after a cold shower.

8 Miles in 58:57 on a humid day with a front moving into Arkansas; close to 70 degrees.

Not a lot of pep today, so planned easy run was just right. Ran 4 Miles at 7:45/mile, 2 at 7:30/mile, and 2 at 6:30/mile (mostly downhill to finish run).

Grandfather's birthday tonight back in Little Rock. He's turning 84, and I'm so proud to be a part of his family and to still have him in my life.

4 Miles in 31 minutes, including a stop at the liquor store for some cabernet and a stop at the bakery for some cinnamon raisin bread (GPS stopped while inside).

I was quiet a sight the last half-mile!

8 Miles in 52:30 on a cool and overcast afternoon in Little Rock; finished Christmas shopping with Diana before running from the Kroger in the Heights down Kavanaugh through Hillcrest, then downtown to Heiffer International and back to apartment in Quapaw Quarter.

Good run despite nagging cough and congestion.

Up before 4:00 am thinking about everything I need to do today. 

Ran 10 Easy Miles on the treadmill while catching up on some hilarious commentary by Trent Dilfer, Steve Young, and John Gruden regarding the Jets' performance on MNF last night. CNN has been pretty hard to watch the last few days...

12 Miles in 1:19:28 (MP) on a cool and windy afternoon in downtown Little Rock. Running off the two huge pieces of mule log, rather yule log, at my Aunt Janet's Christmas party last night.

AM:  14 Miles in 1:45:04 on a cool morning in Malvern, Arkansas; ran first 8 Miles at 7:58/miile (7 with my brother, Luke, who is home for the holidays) and last 6 Miles at 6:52/mile.

Good run after some serious domination at the Christmas dinner table last night.

PM:  2 Easy Miles and 10 sets of pull-ups at the pole barn while drinking beer with my brother and nephew (who only had a couple of sips because he's two).

Merry Christmas!  10 Miles at local high school track with my Dad, Mark; 4 Easy Miles, 3X1 Mile Repeats at 6:04, 5:59, and 5:57, a fast 400m, and 2 striders in a blistering wind and cold mist.

Halo around the moon last night in Arkansas; folklore (and my kinfolk) say 2 stars in the halo mean two days of harsh weather approach.  Hope they're right because my kids would love tring out the new sleds Papa got them!

6 Miles on a beautiful afternoon on the northwest coast of Puerto Rico; running in the sand is hard...but so enjoyable and liberating. It's no wonder why Rocky and Apollo were so happy in Rocky III.
