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.
