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

7 Miles on a nice afternoon in downtown Little Rock before the Arkansas Times Craft Beer Festival.

Always nice to have something to look forward to after a run.

Tough day today.  Experienced some cramping and developed a side stitch during what was intended to be an easy afternoon run while catching up on last night's election results. 

AM:  1 Mile warm-up followed by 2 Miles at 5:56/mile, a 0.5 Mile recovery jog, 1 Mile at 5:56, a 0.5 Mile recovery jog , 0.5 Mile at 5:56 pace, and 0.5 Mile cool-down.  My plan was to run 2X2.0 Mile Repeats at 5:56/mile, but it just wasn't happening this morning. 

PM:  9 Easy Miles on TM. 

Total:  16 Miles.

9 Miles in 64:30 on a pretty nice afternoon in downtown Little Rock.

I like to think that I can self-motivate through my pure love of running, but since my last race, I've struggled to enjoy a single mile.  And that race was a PR!  I love to train, the discipline that it entails, the goal always in sight, but I cannot always train...particularly since I do not LOVE racing. 

Time to develop my next plan.  It's my only hope.  That and Rocky IV...

2 Miles in street cloths at O'Hare.

That gives me 45 for the week.  

Like I said, time to develop my next plan.

14.5 Miles in Troy, Michigan at the Troy Athens High School Track, which is immaculate.  Workout included the following randomness:

2 Easy Miles;

8X400m Repeats at sub-90 seconds (5K);

2 Miles at 7:00/mile;

4X800m Repeats at sub-3 minutes (5K); and

2.5 Miles at 7:00/mile.

Including equal distance recovery jogs to recover, I ran 14.5 Total Miles in 1:43:00.  And I enjoyed every step.

10 Miles at 6:29/mile on a great afternoon along the Arkansas River Trail.

Didn't expect to run at this pace, but it felt good.

4 Miles at 6:22/mile on a great afternoon; pressed for time, so ran as close to tempo pace as possible for a few minutes.
