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

8 Miles in about an hour with my downtown LR running crew, Dave and Kevin, both of whom work in my building 4 Miles west on the NLR River Trail and 4 Miles back. 

Started at 5:30 am, so I'm already enjoying a satisfying cup of coffee in my office, overlooking a beautiful morning in Arkansas' Capital City. 

Returned from Detroit yesterday after an excellent weekend with my brother, Luke.  Caught a Tigers' game on Saturday afternoon noon after spending a few hours in the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.  Sunday, we were very impressed with the world class art collection at the Detroit Institute of Arts, and the Detroit Eastern Market weekend farmers' market, which was celebrating its annual Flowers Day, with nearly 200,000 in attendance.  Good times, and I made it back to Little Rock in time to read my beautiful kids bedtime stories!

am:  8 Easy Miles on a gorgeous morning in my West Little Rock neighborhood; humidity down, shirt off, feeling better as we look toward June. If I can get my knee right, I'm planning to take the sage advice of my friend and fellow blogger, Rob, who suggsted that I consider focusing on my speed for several months (he actually used the word "year", but let's not get crazy). I began considering this prior to Boston, and a poor performance there confirmed what I know to be true. I need a change of pace--to motivate me, to discipline me, to give me the competitive edge I have begun to carve out over the last 18 months. Of course, the end-game is still the Marathon. What else?

pm:  4 Easy Miles on treadmill set to 1.0 incline.

am:  8 Easy Miles with Dave, who joined FRB yesterday, along the NLR River Trail on a beautiful morning along the Arkansas River.  We were joined by a nice guy, Sam, in town to visit family.  Good times.

pm:  4 Easy Miles on treadmill set to 1.0.

am:  6 Miles in my neighborhood; attempted sub-7:00 approaching MP on Miles 2-4, to push the knee a little and see how it holds up.  I felt descent, but not great.  So it goes...

Lots of aerobic miles the next couple of weeks to rebuild my base.  

I'm enjoying the easy doubles in my gym when my schedule permits.  Easy four-milers on the treadmill to get the blood flowing break up my days, many of which have been extremely busy as we gear up for a big case next week.  

Everyone out there have a wonderful day.  Be friendly on elevators.

12 Miles in 91 minutes on the treadmill set to 1.0 incline.  

Heating up in Arkansas, with the index approaching 100 degrees over the weekend.  Good times!  Early mornings will be prime time for outdoor training.  

Everyone have a relaxing, long weekend, and spend a few minutes reflecting on why we are off on Monday.  God bless.
