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

Today's tempo run on the treadmill included the following: 

2 Miles at 7:13/mile;

4 Miles at 6:30/mile; and

2 Miles at 7:13/mile

Half-mile jog to cool-down for 8.5 total miles.  Fourth mile at 6:30 was a little difficult after a long weekend of good eating at both my mother and mother-in-law's homes.  But generally, I felt pretty comfortable at this pace.

Nice, little interval workout on the treadmill this afternoon.  Today's run included the following:  

1 Mile at 7:03;

1 Mile at 6:49; and

8X800m Repeats at 3:00/repeat (6:00 pace);  

Including quarter-mile easy between 800m repeats, and a half-mile easy to cool-down, I ran 8.25 total miles in 56 minutes.  

Legs were a little heavy today after jumping right back into it this week; third day of near-race pace (or faster) running in a row after a very rare Sunday off last weekend.

No excuses, right?  But...work has been very demanding with increased responsibilities (a good thing), and I've come up a little short on sleep this week.  

Finally, I wanted to give some props to my brother, Luke, who had a nice showing in a 10-mile trail race in Virginia last weekend.  The course was brutal, mostly single track, with several streams and a lot of rolling hills.  Great work, bro.  Looking forward to running one with you real soon.

5 Miles at 6:22 on a surprisingly cool morning in Little Rock.  I had my wife, Isabel, drop me off a few miles from the house after my son's soccer practice.  Nice run home, and then we made smoothies!  

With the NCAA tournament on TV all day, and nice weather outside, it's going to be a great day.
