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

16 Miles at 6:48/mile on a cool morning of 39 degrees in Little Rock; purposely included lots of hills (big ones) on this run, and I threw in a couple of neighborhood trails as well.  

Pace was solid, particularly given the fact it includes a far too lengthy bio break (why do I always eat spicy meals on Saturday night?) and a short water break at Mile 8.  

Good run today.  And I'm glad I knocked it out early.

3 Miles Easy on treadmill followed by 45 minute stationary spin class in gym; threw in some upper body strength training and abs to top off the workout.  I don't spin/cycle often, but it's a nice change of pace every now and then...same with swimming.  My preferred discipline is obviously running, but I recognize the value and benefits of cross-training (particularly on an easy run day).

Very little time to workout today, so I hit a local high school track for some quick speed work before heading home for the afternoon to keep my kids.   

After a 400m warm-up, I ran 10X400m Repeats with 100m (35-40 seconds) resting jog.  I ran the first 6 Repeats at 80 seconds/repeat, and Repeats 7-10 at 82, 83, 84, and 85 seconds, respectively.  Only had time for a 200m cool-down because I was running late!

Only 3.5 Miles total, but pretty good results all things considered.  Honestly, I'm feeling a little fatigued after 6 straight days of running.
