| 12.25 Miles at 6:41/mile on a beautiful morning of 50 degrees in Little Rock; stayed in my neighborhood, running 4-mile loop along Woodlands Edge and Meadows Edge. I had to work through some pretty serious stomach cramping (and a much too lengthy bio break that was absolutely necessary) at Mile 5, which was undoubtedly the result of the obscene number of hot wings I ate over at a buddy's house last night, but otherwise, I felt pretty good today. I'm getting more and more comfortable with 6:40-6:45 as my long-distance, race pace, and this gives me a lot of confidence going into future races (though I have not firmed up a race schedule).

| 13.1 Miles in 90:00 on treadmill; today's run included the following progressive splits: 2 Miles at 7:13; 5 Miles at 6:58; 6 Miles at 6:40; and .1 at 6:00 (42 secs). Other than a very nice lady pulling the plug on my treadmill at Mile 3 (she was attempting to unplug and move a fan, which I wasn't using), today's workout was positive. Right now, I'm focused on learning to run at 6:40 comfortably, regardless of conditions and fatigue, because I am well aware that things won't always go as expected on race day. Wesley |

2 Miles at 6:58 followed by 12X400m repeats at 90 secs/repeat (6:00) with 60 sec easy jog between repeats; 1.5 Miles at newly established, target race pace of 6:40/mile and 0.5 Miles easy to cool down; 8.5 total miles in 54 minutes on treadmill set to 1.0.
This morning, I registered for the upcoming Country Music Marathon in Nashville, Tennessee. The race is scheduled for a 7:00am start on Saturday, April 30. My wife, Isabel, is on board for the trip, which will include a huge, post-race concert featuring Montgomery-Gentry, and probably a short trip to the outlet malls in Lebanon, Tennessee as well. It will be nice to have her with me for support. And it's not every day we get a weekend away from the kids...even if for three hours or so I'm a little self-absorbed.

| 5 Miles in 31:30 (6:18) on a cool, overcast day in Little Rock. I actually ran a 5K Race Pace tempo run today, running the first and fifth miles at 6:45/mile, or my approximate Marathon Race Pace, and Miles 2, 3 and 4 at 6:00/mile. This was a good little run that I very much enjoyed, particularly given my plans to be as lazy as possible and watch NCAA basketball all afternoon. Wesley |
