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

8 Miles in 55:50 on a cool and foggy day in my neighborhood.  Caught a little early afternoon shower, which was nice...

I want to share an "In the news" brief from the Arkansas Democrat Gazette: 

David Doty, superintendent of the Canyons School DIstrict in suburban Salt Lake City, said the district decided against using "Cougars" as a mascot for a new high school in part because some see the word cougar as carrying a "negative double entendre." 

To my SLC friends and fellow bloggers...Seriously??? 

As to my running, today's workout include 8 Miles in 1:01:30 with my coworker, Dave, along the North Little Rock River Trail, and 3 Miles on the treadmill--including 4X.25 Mile Repeats at 5K pace--after returning from the outdoor portion of the run.

Busy day at work today with limited time to workout. Got in a quick MP/Tempo run on the treadmill; after 1 Mile to warm-up, I ran 3 Miles at 6:40/mile and 1 Mile at 6:31.  Including 1.5 Easy Miles to cool down, I ran 6.5 Total Miles in around 45 minutes.

18.25 Miles in 1:59:04 on a perfect morning in the low 40s along the Little Rock River Trail.  Ran two out-and-back loops starting from Two Rivers Park Bridge.  

Toward the end of the first loop, around Mile 9, I ran into a buddy of mine who is an elite triathlete, and he jumped off his bike to run the final 8 miles with me.  We pushed each other pretty hard, and I was very pleased to finish with a 6:31/mile average pace.
