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

7:58 average pace; fastest mile was 6:44 (17) and slowest was 9:01 (22); and fuel was limited to one little waffle, one gel, and a 20oz bottle of water. Solid.

8-mile out-and-back, mostly on Ouachita Trail, starting from Pinnacle Mt. East Summit parking lot. This was the kind of honest, technical trail run I needed after 30 on the pavement yesterday. Felt good...pushed the darkness and almost got locked in state park:)

10 Total Miles, including two miles walking.

My middle school is pivoting to all virtual (from hybrid) tomorrow, but the high school is not, so we're starting spring track workouts tomorrow (I support distance runners). Interesting times, and you just have to do your best every day.

38.000.000.000.0038.00

38 miles in 6:50 on Lake Winona Rd (FSR 2) on a cloudy day with rain moving in right as I finished. My Dad said I "was livin' right."

I carried two bottled waters, two little waffles, one gel, one pack of chews, and a mandarin orange. I ate all of before mile 31, and I'm glad I had it. Thinking I need 150 calories/hour on a cool day at ultra pace.

I was unconcerned about time and had two goals. (1) Stay on my feet, moving with purpose, for close to 7 hours, and (2) run as close to an even (or negative) split as possible. I got a bit of a late start, so I ended up turning around after 19 miles in 3:30 with the goal of beating darkness and rain. So while lower mileage that expected, I was pleased with a 10 min negative split.
