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

Empire, Mighigan, 41 degrees, intermittent hail.  

One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.  

The inaugural Sleeping Bear Marathon featured an out-and-back course along the scenic drive overlooking Lake Michigan and the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, which I will be climbing this afternoon with my fiance, Diana, who has been an amazing tour guide all weekend.  

I ran with the pace cyclist from start to finish, and we very much enjoyed ourselves.  My time of 2:45:42 bests my previous PR (March 2012 LR Marathon) by over 6 minutes.  Of course, it being the inaugural race, I now hold the course record (at least for a year)!

As I lay in the Empire B&B eating chex mix and drinking a Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat, I am relaxed and perfectly content.

A good morning, and a great afternoon to come.

8 Miles at the Magnet Cove High School Track with my Dad, Mark, who ran three miles with me at 7:00/mile; I ran two additional miles at 7:00/mile before cooling down with my Dad.

Foggy and humid morning, but good running.
