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

5 Miles of running on a hot afternoon in my neighborhood; good day here, though.  Parents in town for Church this morning, and they took my kids to the pool for some fun in the sun.

10 Miles in just under 80 minutes on a hot mid-morning run that was based on the following: 

If there was a trail, dirt or rock path, I went down it.  

If there was a creek, I jumped in it.  

If there was a hill, I climbed it.  

Wore my Merrell Trail Gloves, which were nice, and a good change in pace with my calves feeling the brunt of the workload.

Met my family at the neighborhood swimming pool shortly after 10:00 am for some fun in the sun.  BBQ later at friends house, and yes, there will be a slip-n-slide!

8 Miles on a nice morning in my neighborhood. I mean, to be honest, it was pretty freaking hot, particularly given it was 5:00 am. But then again, it's all relative when you're locked into heat index running for the next three months--and at least the humidity was down a little.

Calves a little tight after yesterday barefoot trail glove running experiment, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I also was proud of the blisters on my forefoot, which provide evidence that the barefoot trail gloves were going their job.

Long day at the office...never got around to posting about my crazy awesome 6-miler this morning.  Okay, so it was pretty run of the mill, but I did push it hard and try to stride up the hills.  That's got to count for something, right?  Oh yeah, it was hot.

2 Miles at 7:47/mile, 4 Miles at 7:30/mile, and 2 Miles at 6:58/mile, which actually felt pretty good.  Very little pain in my knee, and I seem to be getting my legs back under me.  

Need to do a tempo run soon, and speed work is on the horizon.

Long workout today to exercise the demons...10.5 Miles in around 82 minutes on the treadmill set to 1.0, followed by 20 minutes on the incumbent bike to loosen the legs up enough for an additional 3 Miles in 23 minutes on the treadmill; final mile on the treadmill included 4X200m striders at 5K pace, which may not sound like much, but I was proud of myself.  After an ice bath, two California Kitchen frozen pizzas, and two...check that...three glasses of wine, I think I'm recovering nicely.

4 Miles in 27 minutes and a half-mile cool down; a couple of miles of trails and hills made this a good, hard effort.  

Off to Malvern/Hot Springs for my cousin's wedding.  Congrats kids!

55 Miles for the week.
