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

20.5 Miles in 2:44:52 on a warm morning, climbing toward 90 degrees by the time I finished up around 11:15 am.

Dropped off wife's car at Sunset Window Tinting on South University near the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR); ran east along 12th St. Toward downtown, but turned south on Park so I could run by Little Rock Central High School, then back east past Governor's Mansion, ultimately weaving my way to the Little Rock National Cemetery; turned north out of cemetery on Confederate Blvd up to Roosevelt, entering Heifer International and Clinton Presidential Center and Park from south (back entrance rarely used); crossed over Clinton Bridge into North Little Rock briefly along Arkansas River Trail, but then back north into Little Rock on Broadway Bridge to Capitol Ave; turned west to State Capitol, past "Little Rock 9" sculpture and reflecting pool; continued east along Markham, then northeast up Kavanaugh, covering the toughest three-mile stretch of the Little Rock Marathon course (Miles 13 - 16), which were coincidentally my workout Miles 12.75 - 15.75; south on Van Buren across Markham and all the tailgaters getting fired up for the Razorback game later today at War Memorial Stadium; continued south on Fair Park all the way to Asher, turning west, then quickly back north, onto University; last mile past UALR campus and back to Sunset Window Tinting.

Stumbled into a third consecutive 100 Mile week.

Wow! Congrats-- I think 8:00/mile is a solid recovery pace in 90 degree heat, while reaching 100 miles for the third consec 100 mile week. Hope you give your body a taper in the next week, especially after running over 45 miles in two days. If you're available, I'm good for some short - 6 to 8 mile - runs in evening as I begin to run some doubles.

This post is basically running history teacher porn.

Or even running history major...I thought you may like this one. Since I moved away from downtown, I have not had as many opportunities for "urban historical" runs. They're gritty and interesting.

The grittier the neighborhood, the faster you run.

We could stand a little more grit in Utah.
