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

9.5 easy miles, starting in a light rain, which felt great...

The rain moved on after a mile or so, but the clouds stayed, and it was very pleasant.

Beautiful, perfect morning to run hard and support Arkansas's State Parks, and specifically, Pinnacle Mt. State Park, near my house. After a 5-mile warm-up to the starting line, I went out hard during Mile 1, needing a 5:50 mile to get to the trailhead first in front of a couple XC guys from Catholic High School. From there, I stayed locked in and focused on the 3 miles of technical singkecteack for a 28:50 finish, win, and CR (on the current version of course).

So grateful for our trail running community and the best company ever at the finish line.

15 Total, assuming I don't walk/run anymore today, which is unlikely...I walked a mile:)
