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

3 Easy Miles of jogging with my brother, including a couple of striders, during a nice walk/jog hike on an absolutely perfect day.  

I should run trails more often.

3 Miles at 6:30/mile before backing it down for a final mile at 7:15.  I didn't have much time over lunch today, so I knocked out a short and hot one outside, with the thermostat flirting with 102 degrees and 50% humidity.

What a strange week...my wife and kids are in Valencia, Spain visiting her Grandmother, I just mowed my yard in the dark (out of necessity given my work schedule lately), and it's the 7th inning of the MLB All-Star Game (DVR'd), and the freaking National League is actually managing to hold the lead (a good thing, but I'm surprised; 2 wins in a row for the National League may cause the sky to fall...after the seven games prior to last year going to the American League).  

Alas, I ran 8 Miles on the treadmill in 58 minutes late this afternoon before weed-eating and mowing for 1.5 hours; 4 Miles at 7:30/mile and 4 Miles a little closer to MP at 6:58/mile. Felt fine, physically.  Mentally, I'm all over the board.  I miss my beautiful wife and babies.

8 Miles Easy, including 8 striders during the latter half of the run, on a steamy morning of 83 degrees in Little Rock.

Visiting family in beautiful Benicasim, Spain, just outside of Valencia on the Mediteranean.  After 18 hours of travel, I was very excited to see my beautiful wife, Isabel, and children, Max and Sophie.  This will probably be a light running week, focused on short to moderate, enjoyable and scenic runs along the coast.  For example, I ran 7-8 Miles this morning along the boardwalk, then out of town, climbing for a couple of pretty tough miles before reaching a beautiful point overlooking the sea.  Hard to beat this kind of run, and I look forward to repeating it a few times over the course of the next week. 

No GPS.  No pace concerns.  Just soaking it in.
