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

12 Miles in 1:20:22 (6:42/mile) on a warm, humid day on the Little Rock River Trail. Strong run to kick off race week, with scheduled day off tomorrow, and light mileage the remainder of the week.  

My brother, Luke, who turned 32 today (happy b-day bro!), made me a badass Marathon Mix taking into account my goals, pacing and racing strategy.  Seeing my Dad's commitment to his own training, and with my brother's continued support and council, I feel very blessed and even more confident heading into next Sunday's race.

1 Mile at 7:15

1 Mile at 6:45

2 Miles at 6:20/mile

1 Mile at 6:00

2 X 400m Repeats at 82 and 90 seconds, respectively

1 Mile Easy to cool down

7 Miles total, including quarter mile easy after Mile 5 (6:00) and each 400m Repeat; beautiful, clear morning made this run easy; anticipation for Sunday's race building.

1 Mile at 7:15 followed by 4X400m repeats at sub-90 seconds in my neighborhood on a perfect morning for running in Little Rock; including cool-down, I ran 3 Miles total in 20 minutes. 

I plan on going for a brisk walk at lunch over the next couple of days, and I am confident that my kids will keep me pretty active and engaged in the evenings.  Hopefully, I can keep my weight relatively stable over the next three days.
