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

11 Miles in 1:14:37 (6:47 pace), one and a half hour break for Sunday School Class Community Service Project, and 11 Miles in 1:21:17 (7:24 pace); 22 Miles Total.  

It was a perfect day for running in Little Rock, so I headed downtown from my house in West Little Rock around noon, returning around 4:00pm after two nice runs and a short break to participate in a worthy cause known as "Stone Soup", which provides Little Rock's homeless community with a hot meal every Sunday afternoon.

Pace slid on the return run, and I felt pretty tight starting around Mile 7 of the back 11. Regardless, the cumulative training runs were a good way to start the week.

12 Miles at 7:13 on treadmill set to 1.0 incline; run included 4X2:30min uphill accelerations at 6:58 and a 4.0 incline at end of Miles 9, 10, 11 and 12 (10:00min total uphill time).  

Uphill accelerations were pretty tough, but I needed them; finished strong and felt good.

Great interval/tempo run on one of the local high school tracks today.  The weather was perfect, 45 degrees with very little wind.  The workout included the following:  

3 Miles at 7:00/mile;

6X800m repeats at 3:10:  Actual splits included 3:06, 3:08, 3:04, 3:04, 3:07, and 3:04 with quarter mile easy jog between repeats.  

3 Miles at 6:29/mile; and

0.5 Miles easy to cool down.  

I didn't force the issue on the 800m repeats, and I was very comfortable running at this pace (6:20/mile).  I also finished strong on the 3 Mile tempo run, knocking out the last 800m in 3 minutes.
