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

Beautiful, perfect morning to run hard and support Arkansas's State Parks, and specifically, Pinnacle Mt. State Park, near my house. After a 5-mile warm-up to the starting line, I went out hard during Mile 1, needing a 5:50 mile to get to the trailhead first in front of a couple XC guys from Catholic High School. From there, I stayed locked in and focused on the 3 miles of technical singkecteack for a 28:50 finish, win, and CR (on the current version of course).

So grateful for our trail running community and the best company ever at the finish line.

15 Total, assuming I don't walk/run anymore today, which is unlikely...I walked a mile:)

Turkey Trot in pouring rain with eight other members of my family, including my two oldest, Max and Sophia. Despite the cold and rainy weather for second year in a row, it was a really fun experience for the whole crew.

I ran pretty well, but there is lots of room for improvement with respect to my pacing and short race msbsrent, generally.

10 Total, including extended warm-up and cool down.

Happy Thanksgiving.
