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 in 15 mins while waiting for a table at a taco bar on a beautiful day. Indeed, it was so beautiful that I later rode my bike for several miles on the River Trail with Diana and Evan.

Pouring rain outside, so I had some fun doing my hill work on the treadmill...and it was pretty awesome. Check it:

Miles 1-4 at 7:47/Mile on 1.0 incline;

4X1.0 Mile Repeats at 7:47/Repeat on 5.0 incline with .5 Mile recovery at same pace with no incline; 

3X1.0 Mile Repeats in 6:58 - 6:18 pace range/Repeat on -1.0 incline with .5 Mile recovery at 7:30 pace on 1.0 incline; and

2X.5 Mile Repeats at 7:47/Repeat on 6.0 incline with .5 Mile recovery at same pace with no incline.

16-Mile workout in 2:00:45.

10 Miles in 64:34 (6:28) on a warm morning for speed work at Scott Field. After a 3-Mile warm-up at 6:55/mile, I ran 6X800m Repeats at 2:40, 2:39, 2:38, 2:38, 2:44, and 2:45 with 400m recovery at 8:00 pace (2 mins). 

Target was 2:44/Repeat, so I was pretty pleased; target based on 5:28/mile 5K pace, though I've never actually run anything close to sub-17:00 on a flat course. 

12 Total Miles including 2 Miles walking to and from church with kids.
