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 Miles on TM; tired after mentally exhausting day and only about 45 minutes to run, so I planned an easy progressive, starting at 7:30 pace and working down at 15 second increments. Problem was the severe side stitch that developed near end of Mile 4 (6:45 pace). I don't know if it was the lack of energy, stress, insufficient warm-up, or some combination thereof, but I actually had to stop completely. After a couple of minutes, I managed the final 3 Mile at 8:30 pace.

13.25 Miles in 1:41 on TM; worked my way into what became one of my better workouts in a while.

Started routine enough with 4 Miles at 8:00/mile, 4 Miles at 7:47/mile, and 2 Miles at 7:30/mile; then incorporated 4X45sec (approx. 200m) repeats at 5:56 pace (1.0 incline) into Mile 11, 4X45sec repeats at 5:52 pace (3.0 incline) into Mile 12, and 4X45sec repeats at 5:49 pace (6.0 incline) into Mile 13.

14.25 Total Miles including .25 Mile cool-down and one-mile commute.

17 Miles on the beautiful, snow-covered streets of Little Rock. Ran 1.5 Miles to LR Marathon Mile Marker 16, then ran the course in reverse to Mile Marker 9, and back. This section of the race, which I will be running for the fifth time on March 2, passes the State Capitol, Little Rock Central High School, and the Governor's Mansion. I actually saw the Governor's limo and his state police escort twice near Central High. I'm thinking he was probably out with the First Lady taking in the snowy scenery.

Just under 16.5 Miles with Dave in 1:45 (7:50 pace); beautiful afternoon for a run, during which we picked up the LR Marathon course at Mile Marker 13, following it roughly through Mile Marker 25, then cutting back through downtown Little Rock to our office.
