| Empire, Mighigan, 41 degrees, intermittent hail. One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. The inaugural Sleeping Bear Marathon featured an out-and-back course along the scenic drive overlooking Lake Michigan and the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, which I will be climbing this afternoon with my fiance, Diana, who has been an amazing tour guide all weekend. I ran with the pace cyclist from start to finish, and we very much enjoyed ourselves. My time of 2:45:42 bests my previous PR (March 2012 LR Marathon) by over 6 minutes. Of course, it being the inaugural race, I now hold the course record (at least for a year)! As I lay in the Empire B&B eating chex mix and drinking a Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat, I am relaxed and perfectly content. A good morning, and a great afternoon to come. Wesley |

| 8 Miles at the Magnet Cove High School Track with my Dad, Mark, who ran three miles with me at 7:00/mile; I ran two additional miles at 7:00/mile before cooling down with my Dad. Foggy and humid morning, but good running. Wesley |

10 Miles in 72:00 on TM; 6 Miles at 7:30/mile, 2 Miles at 7:13/mile, 1 Mile at 6:44, and Final Mile at 5:46. Beautiful day in Little Rock...probably should have been outside, but I was pressed for time with a busy afternoon schedule. Wesley

| 5 Miles on a great evening in downtown Little Rock. Little Rock Central High School is even more impressive and beautiful at night. And the glow of the exterior lights on the stone facade...living history...gives me chills. Wesley |

21 Miles with Dave on a beautiful day along the Arkansas River. Our run took us west on the River Trail through Burns Park and over the Big Dam Bridge to Little Rock, where we continued west for two miles before turning around at the Two Rivers Bridge parking lot. Because of 20-25 gusts of wind in our face, we averaged 8:12/mile for the first 10 Miles; after turning around, with the wind gods at our back, we ran in the 7:30 - 7:50 pace range. We tacked on an additional mile through downtown North Little Rock and back over the Junction Bridge into the River Market for no other reason than because we were feeling good and enjoying ourselves. Including the half-mile trot to and from my aprtment, I decided to take credit for 22 Miles today. Dave's ready to smash his PR and qualify for Boston at the St. Jude's Memphis Marathon the first weekend of December. And he still has 6 weeks to fine tune his fitness and race strategy! Wesley

6 Miles on the South Trail of the Arkansas River Trail on an absolutely perfect afternoon in Little Rock; parked at Buffalo Grill and ran an out-and-back loop with Diana by my side on a bike. it was nice...and we topped it off with a Goose Island Ale on the Buffalo Grill patio. Good afternoon. Wesley |
