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

10 Miles in 64:34 (6:28) on a warm morning for speed work at Scott Field. After a 3-Mile warm-up at 6:55/mile, I ran 6X800m Repeats at 2:40, 2:39, 2:38, 2:38, 2:44, and 2:45 with 400m recovery at 8:00 pace (2 mins). 

Target was 2:44/Repeat, so I was pretty pleased; target based on 5:28/mile 5K pace, though I've never actually run anything close to sub-17:00 on a flat course. 

12 Total Miles including 2 Miles walking to and from church with kids.
