12 Miles in 1:18:41; beautiful mid-morning run along Hwy. 171 near my parents' home between Malvern and Hot Springs, Arkansas. Ran to the sign marking the interest to Lake Catherine State Park (6 Miles from front door) and back. Three-Mile Splits included:
Miles 1-3: 6:31/mile
Miles 4-6: 6:23/mile
Miles 7-9: 6:42/mile
Miles 10-12: 6:38/mile
Feeling pretty good after two hard workouts within a 24 hour window.

10 Miles in 1:17:53 with my Dad on a cool morning along Hwy. 171 between Malvern and Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Very enjoyable run and good conversation; we're both pretty amped up for Boston!

4 Easy Miles with my Dad along Boston Harbor on a beautiful morning; 1 Mile close to MP to stretch things out a bit.
Awesome seafood pasta at Nico's in Boston's North End last night. One of the best meals I've ever had!
Great to have the entire family together for the race.

Challenging, exhillarating, painful, joyful, frustrating, beautiful...
Eternally grateful to my amazing wife, Isabel, for her support along my journey over the last 18 months (5 Marathons); my brother, Luke, and his wife, Melissa, for taking the time and making the sacrifice to come to Boston for an anxiety-filled weekend; and to my mother, Phyllis, and father, Mark, who have supported me, forgiven me, and loved me every day of my 29 years on this planet.
Dad, you did it. You're the best role model a son could ever ask for.
And of course, to all of the FRBs who took me in, gave me advice, and treated me as one of their own, thanks. Rob / Jeff / Walter / Steve / Adam -- you guys are awesome.
Best,
Wesley |

Approximately 12.75 nice and easy miles early this morning along the North Little Rock River Trail. Met my co-worker, Dave, and another friend, Kevin, who works in our builing at 6:00 am downtown. Beautiful morning for knocking out aerobic miles at approximately a 7:45/mile pace.
