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

Why aren't you racing more this year Wesley? With this incredibly consistent mileage, you must be eager to get out there.

I just looked up Lake Catherine State Park. Looks great.

You know, it's funny Rob, I really am not that eager...perhaps it's cliche, but I really do just love (and need) to run. Love trainng, running hard, and challenging myself, but perhaps because I never ran competively as a teen or in college, I rarely get the racing itch.

What works best for me is long-term goals and target races...I think...neither of which I have right now. Other than doing a lot more trail running this summer.
