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

Lots of hiking and trail work today. My parents and I put in about 8 hours on the Ouachita Trail, preparing our adopted section for hikers to continue enjoying through late spring into summer.

I enjoyed the morning at the Arkansas Ultra Running Association's Mt. Magazine Trail Run. This fun run is well organized by Paul "PT" Turner, very competitive, and offers stunning views from the highest point in Arkansas (2,753ft).

I drove up very early after a long week, and although I didn't have my climbing legs today, I was able to reframe things and enjoy the race and pose-race fellowship.

Winner Shane Poland came within three minutes of a course record and is putting up stout times in races all over the state.
