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

8.75 Miles in 61:30 on a hot morning, already around 85 degrees at 8:30 am.; ran 1.75 Miles to Scott Field Track, where I rattled off 10X400m Repeats between 87 and 81 seconds with 400m jogging recovery around 8:00 pace; first 2 in 87, next 4 in 83-84, and final 4 in 81-82; during my cool-down home, I went ahead and ran 2 more .25 Garmin Repeats in sub-90 seconds, so I actually ended up running 12 total, or approximately 3 Miles at or near VO2 Max.  The last 2 repeats on the track were pretty hard after yesterday's downhill/uphill race and because I carried no fluid.

10 Total Miles including walking to and from church with kids.

Congratulations on a great run at Mt. Nebo. It was a hot morning today. I mowed the lawn this morning, and underground weather said the temp around 9:00 was 90 degrees with a heat index of 102. Challenging conditions for repeats at Scott Field. ...Dave
