AM: Missed my 5:15 pm alarm this morning (because it was 5:15 am), but I still managed 8.5 Miles on a really nice morning prior to my 8:30 am staff meeting. Ran south from my downtown apartment to Roosevelt, then East to the Veterans' Cemetery; turned back North toward Heifer International and Clinton Presidential Center and Park, and upon arrival there, crossed Clinton Bridge (old Rock Isaland Rail Bridge) into North Little Rock; rather than jumping on River Trail, I opted for Riverfront Drive west to the Arkansas Travelers stadium, where I completed my loop and turned back north, again crossing the Arkansas River, this time back into Little Rock. Good, urban run. PM: 4.5 Miles in 30 minutes. this short, progressive run included miles at 6:58, 6:49, 6:40, and 6:28; final half-mile at 5k pace. After pounding out 8:20s this morning on sore legs, this afternoon's workout felt like a half-hour wind sprint. Wesley
