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

Committed a cardinal sin yesterday...skipped my long run.  And frankly, I didn't do much today to make up for it.  10 Miles on the treadmill in 85 minutes.

I'm trying to stay positive, and I've continued to train through it, but my left foot is really bothering me.  The bone running along the outside of my foot hurts (particularly in the morning and after running), and I have what I think is a stone bruise on my heel.

16 Miles in right at 1:52:00 on a cold morning of 31 degrees...down by the river. 

Great run this morning, crossing over the Two Rivers Bridge into the North Little Rock side of Two Rivers Park; followed River Trail west to exit of park, then north briefly past some beautiful horse farms to Pinnacle Valley Rd.; west on Pinnacle Valley Rd to the back entrance of Pinnacle Valley State Park, where I climbed for about a mile to a beautiful, scenic overlook.  Turned around and headed back along the same route. 

Four-Mile pace splits were 7:05/mile, 7:14/mile (uphill), 6:54/mile (downhill), and 6:47.  Felt pretty good about the negative splits. 

Looking forward to a nice, easy 18-miler tomorrow with my father, Mark, who's training his tail off for Boston (he's never run a marathon where he didn't set a PR...okay, so he's only run two, but that's still pretty impressive).

18 Miles in 2:29:35 with my Dad on a cold morning, 28 degrees, out and back through Lake Catherine State Park, starting from my parents driveway.  Beautiful run.
