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

2 Miles at 6:58 followed by 12X400m repeats at 90 secs/repeat (6:00) with 60 sec easy jog between repeats; 1.5 Miles at newly established, target race pace of 6:40/mile and 0.5 Miles easy to cool down; 8.5 total miles in 54 minutes on treadmill set to 1.0. 

This morning, I registered for the upcoming Country Music Marathon in Nashville, Tennessee.  The race is scheduled for a 7:00am start on Saturday, April 30.  My wife, Isabel, is on board for the trip, which will include a huge, post-race concert featuring Montgomery-Gentry, and probably a short trip to the outlet malls in Lebanon, Tennessee as well.  It will be nice to have her with me for support.  And it's not every day we get a weekend away from the kids...even if for three hours or so I'm a little self-absorbed.

Nice speedwork. Sounds like your race plans are developing...have fun on the "couples time" though you realize in her mind it is still about you, right? You still owe her for taking the time for a marathon...words from personal experience.

Thanks, man. Yeah, I realized this a couple of nights ago when attempting to rationalize (and justify)the experience. I ended up just sounding defensive...

But we've had a couple conversations over the last couple of days that are helping us to understand each other better...and that can only be a good thing.

Learn, improve and make progress every day, right?
