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

20 Miles on an absolutely gorgeous, albeit warm and brutally windy, day of 82 degrees in Little Rock.  I ran a 7:14/mile pace, but that doesn't tell the whole story...

After months of cool-weather running, today was a wake up call.  After 15 miles at sub-7:00, I was spent, and the 10 ounces of gatorade in my hand-held was all dried up by Mile 16.  Lucky for me, the Little Rock/North Little Rock River Trail on which I was running has water fountains, and I was fortunate to hit one at Mile 17.  

Overall, it was a good day.  The wind was a pace-breaker, and I was not prepared for how my body reacted to the warmer weather, but all things considered, I ran pretty strong.  

And then I had to mow the yard!!!

Nice run Wesley.

Yeah, acclimating to the heat does take time. Not that I'd know yet - steady snow all day here.

Mowing the lawn should count for another 5 miles... :)
