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

Joined my Dad at the Magnet Cove track this morning for speed work. It's been awhile, but I managed 10X400m in 81-80-80-81-79-83-82-80-81-81. I'd like to run a respectable 5K this summer if my body holds up.

11 Total Miles, including warm-up, cool-down, and a short hike with Max.

Race: Malvern Brickfest 5K (3.11 Miles) 00:18:59, Place overall: 1, Place in age division: 1

Enjoyed the Malvern Brickfest 5K with my Dad this morning. I finished 1st overall and my Dad, Mark, won his age group (60-69) in 24:08. 

I've not done enough speed training recently to run a fast 5K, nor am I near race weight, but I managed 5:35 on the first mile to separate myself from two teenage runners and coast to a victory in my parents' hometown...where the high school fieldhouse is named after my grandfather, Bill Hunt.

3 hot and sweaty miles with the kids on our trails when we got home.

8 Total Miles, including 5K warm-up and cool-down.
