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

I got up in some good speed work late this afternoon, and despite the 90 degree heat, I felt like it was exactly what I needed to recharge my batteries.  Today's workout included the following:  

3 Miles at 6:35/mile;

4X400m at 79, 76, 79, and 79 seconds respectively;

3X800m at 2:46, 2:55, and 2:56 respectively; and

800m easy jog to cool down.  

Including 200m walk/jog after each quarter, and 400m walk/jog between 800's, I ran 7 total miles.

Ran out of hours today (wish days were longer), so I had to improvise with a 3 Mile tempo/progressive run: 1 Mile at 6:40 (MP), 1 Mile at 6:18, and 1 Mile at 6:00 (5K) on the treadmill set to 1.0 incline.  Felt pretty good.

am:  8 Miles Easy in WLR neighborhood.

pm:  4.5 Miles in WLR neighborhood, and it was an interesting workout; 1 mile at sub-7:00, but I had to back it down for a couple of easy miles after developing a strange, unexplainable side-stitch (hydration issues perhaps?); then I kicked it up to 5K pace for a half-mile (2:55), followed by an easy half mile, another quarter mile at 5K pace (1:27), and a quarter to cool down.   

Total:  12.5 Miles, mostly easy stuff with a couple token repeats.

6.5 Miles this afternoon in Malvern, Arkansas, and it was a little warm (98 degrees!); working from my Dad's office (we work for the same Company), I ran an easy mile to the start line of the Malvern BrickFest 5K, which happens to be next Saturday, and in which my Dad and I may participate depending on how his calf and my right knee feel this week. From this point, of course, I ran most of the BrickFest 5K race course (3 Miles) in just under 20 minutes (approx. 6:37/mile), followed by 2.5 very easy miles in the bright, bright sun.

8 Miles Easy with my Dad on Hwy. 171 between Malvern and Hot Springs, Arkansas.  Out the door by 4:30am because I had to get back to Little Rock to participate in a golf tournament/fundraiser hosted by my church, St. James UMC (8:00am tee time).  

And as if I hadn't logged enough hours in the Arkansas Summer heat, I even found time to mow the yard this afternoon!  My in-laws came over for dinner and a movie, and all in all, it was a very good day, but a long one...off to bed.
