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

AM:  10.25 Miles back to my parents' house after a short hike with my kids to the waterfall at Lake Catherine State Park.  

I'm a little sore today after a good effort yesterday; ran 8 striders to try to loosen up a bit toward the end of today's run.

11 Miles in 75:38 (6:53) on a beautiful afternoon along Main Street in Malvern, Arkansas, home of the mighty Leopards and Bill Hunt Fieldhouse (named after my grandfather).

Pace could have (and should have) been faster but for a strong headwind and some stomach cramping during the latter half of the run.

After a long evening of traveling, and a pretty late night, I got up early in Charlottesville, Virginia and ran 23.5 Miles along part of the Jefferson Highway (Hwy. 250) heading west from UVA before turning around in a little town about 12 miles outside of Charlottesville.  

Garmin dead.  Just a relaxing pace (about 3 hours all in all) that included a couple of bio breaks and brief stops to read Historic roadside markers, including (1) the birthplace or Merrweather Lewis; and (2) the site of the first battle in Confederate General "Stonewall" Jackson's Shenandoah Valley Campaign.

4.5 Miles of steep and somewhat technical trails with my brother, Luke, at the Walnut Creek Park a few miles south of Charlottesville, Virginia; Luke, a trail runner at heart, pushed forward for a few more miles on the trails while I opted for 7 Miles on the shoulder of the highway headed back north into C-Ville.  

11.5 Total Miles in 89:00, with the trail pace at 9:30-10:30/mile and highway pace at 6:30-7:30/mile.
