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

1 Mile with Max and Sophia in 9 mins, followed by 11 miles in 1:20:55 (7:21) out-and-back on Hwy. 300 in the opposite direction that I ran yesterday.  I'd never gone this way, and it's quiet pleasant, with fewer cars...but more dogs:)

12 Total Miles.  It's gorgeous in the Natural State today.

9 miles at JTR track on a gorgeous, albeit windy, day. After a 2-mile warm-up, I ran 8X 400m repeats in 77, 77, 77, 76, 76, 76, 77, and 74. After a cool-down mile, I ran 2 easy miles with three of my women's track team leaders.

11 Total Miles, including 2 miles walking and picking up trash on this MLK Day, the only federal holiday designated as a day of service to our communities.

Push-ups and stretching.

10 miles in just under 1:20 (8:00) after school while Max was in quiz bowl practice. This was the most sore I've felt since starting training 17 days ago. It was nice but extremely windy again. Need to push through the week on adrenaline (and excitement) with am and pm track practice starting tomorrow...then lighter week next week.

13 Total Miles, including 3 miles walking.

5-Mile LT run on a cold afternoon in 31:16 (6:15): 6:31, 6:20, 6:14, 6:14, and 5:58. I wasn't sure how my legs would respond/cooperate today, but I like this progression.

8 Total Milea, including 3 miles walking, and I need a glass of wine and some sleep.

14 Miles in 1:46:30 (7:36) on a nice day along the Arkansas River Trail (paved), starting east from Two Rivers Bridge Parking Lot, over the Big Dam Bridge into NLR, turning around near the skate park and heading back.  Enjoying running the last couple of miles leisurely with two other runners I know through the local trail running community.
