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

First 18 Miles of the Little Rock Marathon Race Course at or around my target race pace of 7:15/mile.  My Garmin would not start this afternoon, and my wife had already dropped me off downtown, so I just rolled with it and focused on the course.  

It was very windy, and a little on the warm side, but I felt pretty descent.  I didn't push it too hard, and again, I was working a little harder than I would have liked, but I can't complain.  I accomplished what I needed to accomplish this afternoon.    

Bring on the taper.

I had a good speed workout today at a local high school track, though I did have to dodge a PE Class during the last couple 400m repeats.  But it made things more interesting. 

Today's workout included: 

2 Miles at 7:03/mile;

4X400m Repeats at 80, 79, 80, and 79 seconds, respectively;

2X800m Repeats at 2:50 and 2:49;

4X400m Repeats, all right at 80 seconds; and

1 Mile at 6:00

Including 200m slow jog between 400m repeats, 400m slow jog between 800m repeats, and a half-mile or so of jogging to recover after the final mile, I ran 8 miles total.

2 Miles Easy, including two striders, followed by 2X800m repeats at 3:00min and 2X400m repeats at sub-90sec (6:00/mile or 5K pace); including 400m slow jog between 800m repeats and 200m jog between 400m repeats, 4.5 total miles.  

Backing off mileage considerably as I head into race week.

5 Miles at 6:21/mile on an absolutely perfect day, mid 50s and very little wind, in Little Rock.  Feeling well-rested and healthy for the first time in a couple of weeks, this was a nice tempo pace, confidence-boosting run.  

Planning to run 10-12 Miles tomorrow as I move into race week.
