Wiped out for four days with the 18-in-21 work stretch and the Kansas City Gold Cup trip (very glad we did it; atmosphere was unreal). Back in the saddle today for not quite 5 with the chickens.

Speed wrk at Southside. Waited an hour too long to get out there and paid for it; it was 85 when I finished at 9:00. Good pace on 8 200s, but I don't think I could have done any more reps. And I definitely was getting the lungs burning. Some football players were out there running sprints and doing pushups but not a fullblown workout yet.

Memorial run for Brent Morrison out at Wells Lake. I'm estmating 400 runners, so a pretty impressive turnout at 6:30 in the morning. David E. even drove over from Morrilton. Lots of orange, that being Brent's favorite color, including my Cottonwood shirt. Orange balloons released at the site of his death too, along with flowers stacked at a makeshift memorial. After the 5K jog, I did three laps around the lake and ran back to my car to get to 6.
