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

4 Miles Easy is all I had in me today.  

This is been a tough week, personally and professionally, and I've never been more convinced that the mental side of running is equally as important as the physical.  

Without the proper motivation, you cannot run...at least not well.  

However, things are looking up on a beautiful, albeit hot, weekend in Little Rock.  Some time at the pool with the wife and kids is exactly what I needed.  I will probably take Sunday off as a mental health day of sorts.  

God bless,

Wesley

It did. And thanks, Rob. I want to be out there so bad...I just have to find the right work/family/individual mix, or balance, and really focus on developing some short, intermediate and long-term goals.
