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 Miles in 1:11:54 in my neighborhood on a warm morning (80+ degrees).  After a 2-mile warm-up and bio break, I put forth a pretty good effort for 8 Miles at 6:59/mile.  Pace wasn't as consistent as I'd like, hovering between 6:30 and 7:30, but I finished strong, running Mile 10 right at 6:40.  

pm:  5.5 Miles on treadmill; 2-mile warm-up, 3 Miles at 6:58, and half-mile cool down. 

Total:  15.5 Miles, 11 at sub-7:00 pace

4 Miles Easy is all I had in me today.  

This is been a tough week, personally and professionally, and I've never been more convinced that the mental side of running is equally as important as the physical.  

Without the proper motivation, you cannot run...at least not well.  

However, things are looking up on a beautiful, albeit hot, weekend in Little Rock.  Some time at the pool with the wife and kids is exactly what I needed.  I will probably take Sunday off as a mental health day of sorts.  

God bless,

Wesley
