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

I bet you loved getting out in the sunshine today! Why so many miles on the tread-and-dread?

Don't you know it...tough to get motivated for 10 milers on a treadmill. I wish I had a better excuse, but frankly, it's convenience. I can log treadmill miles at the gym in my office building and get in some quick strength training in a relatively efficient and timely manner. Ouside running on the weekends is a blessing, though.

When I do kick it up to training mode in late summer/early fall, I plan to fully commit to 4:30 am runs. It's the best way for me to assure that I hit my mileage targets, and morning runs also offer certain intangible benefits like building confidence and sharpening mental focus to develop an edge.

By the way, a much belated congrats on the BQ. You showed a heck of a lot of courage and mental toughness to train and battle through those injuries.
