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

Half-mile warm-up followed by 8 Miles in 51:27 (6:26/mile) on a warm, humid afternoon around 70 degrees on Hwy. 171 between Malvern and Hot Springs, Arkansas.  Half-mile cool-down back up the driveway to my parents' house.   

I would have preferred to take today off, but tomorrow morning, I am having a septoplasty and right inferior turbinectomy (deviated septum), so probably no running until Wednesday at the earliest.  Good thing I started tapering this week!

Billy Bob Thornton is from Malvern and it's the brick capital of the world. Thank you.

That's one long driveway!

Good luck with those awesome sounding procedures.

He graduated high school with my Dad (one year ahead of my Mom). I had an opportunity to meet him several years ago when he was filming part of Sling Blade in Arkansas. He used to get back more, gather everyone for big dinners, etc., but not so much anymore.

That's almost as cool as your Bear Bryant connections.

I did love Sling Blade.
