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

8 Easy Miles in 60:00 on treadmill set to 1.0 incline; two 200m striders during Mile 8 in an effort to loosen up my very fatigued legs.  Good news, this is a rest week per my training schedule, and thus, I'm reducing mileage and intensity.

45 Minute Spin Class at noon in my office gym followed by 6 Miles on the treadmill set to 1.0 incline.  

Spin Class was fun, and not overly strenuous, and the short run consisted of 1 Mile at 6:58, 1 Mile at 6:44, 1 Mile at 6:31, 1 Mile at 6:22, and 2 Easy Miles, including 2X200m striders during last half-mile.

10 Miles in 1:07:56 (6:48/mile) on a beautiful, sunny afternoon, 79 degrees with a cool breeze; set-off for an easy run across the Little Rock / North Little Rock Two Rivers Bridge (part of River Trail System) into Two-Rivers Park; other than the bridge, it was flat and fast, and despite the pace (slower would have been better), I never left my comfort zone, and my legs feel great.

Up at 3:15 am with my son, Max, and I couldn't back to sleep...so I brewed a cup of coffee, threw back some pretzels, and headed out for 12 Miles in 1:17:32 (6:28/mile), with the following three-mile splits:  

Miles 1 - 3:  19:00 (6:20 pace)

Miles 4 - 6:  38:09 (6:23 pace)

Miles 5 - 9:  57:41 (6:31 pace)

Miles 10 - 12:  1:17:32 (6:37 pace)

Perfect running conditions this morning, 53 degrees and not a cloud in the sky.  

Great sports day this Saturday.  The Hogs need to bounce back with a win over the Aggies, and my Cardinals kick off the NL Wild Card Series this afternoon up in Philly.  

Predictions:  2 W's of course!
