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

6 Miles at MP on the River Trail as the cold air and precipitation moves into Arkansas.

This run was cleansing and better than anticipated.

Looking forward to building a fire and settling in at my folks' place out in the country in Hot Spring County.

2-Mile trot with my Yorkie, Charley, on a cool and overcast afternoon. Charley really excels when running at my 100-Mile race pace.

6 Miles, including 4X400m repeats and 1X800m, at the Scott Field track in the pounding, cold rain.

Good stuff on a day I wasn't expecting to run because of holiday party prep and travel to my folks' place outside of Malvern.

14 Miles and change with Dave on what's becoming our "standard" River Trail run, at least on business days.

Hit the 4,000 Mile mark for calendar year 2013 today. Would be lying if I said it wasn't a goal, but alas, I don't feel any differnt than I did yesterday!

So it goes...
