| 10.5 Miles in 1:19:36 (7:35) on the gravel/grass shoulder of Hwy. 171; started out west on 171, turning south toward Hot Springs and circling back after a quarter mile down Camp Tanako dtiveway. Hot and really humid with a front moving in; however, there was a nice breeze out of the southwest, which allowed me to get by with only 8 ounces of water. Wesley |

| 8.5 Miles in just under 64 minutes on the treadmill set to 1.0 incline; ran Miles 7 and 8 at 6:35/mile before cooling down for a half mile. Pretty effortless running despite lots of miles over the weekend. Feeling pretty good physically, better mentally, and strong emotionally. Wesley |

AM: 2 Easy Miles followed by approximately 1 Mile at 6:15 and approximately 1 Mile at 6:00. Why were Miles 3 and 4 approximate you ask? Well, the treadmill shorted out, ironic given it's in a gym owned and operated by a public utility. So I switched outlets, only to have it die on me again as I was hammering away at a 6 minute mile. I may have hit--rather, lightly struck--the treadmill at this point, and I do recall considering how good it would feel to throw the treadmill out the 28th floor window...otherwise, that part of my workout was excellent. After the second breakdown, I went outside and ran 2 Miles pretty hard, probably around MP, settling for 6 Total Miles before running to a 1:00 pm meeting. Frustrating, but I'm down from the bridge. Feeling too strong to let it get me down. PM: Half-mile down the drive, 8 Miles in 59:41 on the dirt/grass shoulder along Hwy. 171; half-mile up the drive; jumped on the pavement and ran timed Mile 8 right at 6 minutes. I needed this run to clear my head. Locked back in. Total: 15 Miles. Interesting day. Wesley

8 Miles with Dave on a humid, but nice, morning; North Little Rock River Trail was full of cyclists because we started a little later this morning (6:00 am).
I think I could only get into cycling if my age or health prevented me from running. Am I a running snob?

16 Miles in 2:11:58 on a warm and muggy afternoon in the Ouachita National Forest about 35 miles west of Little Rock. Parked at the Lake Winona Spillway and ran an out-and-back on Forest Service Road 114, carring only a 16 oz bottled water; rolling hills with several tough climbs; deer to human ratio was about 20 to 1. No doubt, this was a tough run, particularly given my poor planning with respect to fuel and a relatively low energy level. That said, ask and ye shall receive...at Mile 14, battling borderline dehydration, I prayed for rain. Honestly, I shouted to the heavens, and not 10 minutes later, the heavens parted and emptied a perfect, beautiful shower on my head for the remainder of my run, cleansing my mind, body, and soul.

AM: 8 Miles in 55:56 in a light, cool rain along Highway 171 near my parents' home between Malvern and Hot Springs, Arkansas; last 6 Miles at approximately 6:40/mile. PM: 7 Miles in 54 minutes and change; mostly ran in the grass along my parents quarter mile driveway; mixed in 8 striders. Wesley
