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

5.5 mile trail run and hike in Lake Catherine State Park with my brother, Luke, who was in Arkansas with his family to celebrate his son's first birthday.  After an early afternoon shower in Hot Springs, the woods were like a sauna, but despite the heat and humidity, we had a great run and afternoon, generally, with an ice chest of cold beverages waiting for us in my Dad's truck when we made it back to the trail head.

The treamill I used today (my usual and preferred Matrix treadmill was covered up) was really cranky and I couldn't get it off a -3.0 decline.  Because I only had an hour, and every other freaking treadmill was being used, I simply hammered out 9.5 Miles progressing from a 6:30 pace (2 Miles) to a 6:15 pace (2 Miles) to a 6:00 pace (5.5 Miles).  If I had had time, I would have kept going, because the dowhill treadmill running suited me just fine.  I powered through the miles with only a single, short bio/water break after Mile 4.

5 Miles Easy while pushing my son and daughter in the 2-seater, "BOB" stroller.  Stopped for a few minutes around Mile 3 to feed the ducks (and fish) at a pond in our neighborhood.

Despite the 7:30 pm start, it was still well over 90 degrees.  As such, today's run was a little tougher than I expected or wanted, but the kids and I had a blast.

Good times after a long day at work.  It's so refreshing to see my kids smile and enjoy the simple things in life.

After a Paul Dean Buffet (think grease), a couple hours of very conservative card-playing at the Casino, and about as much sleep as could be expected for a quick, one-night guy trip to Tunica, Mississippi, I hit an old highway in the Mississippi Delta for 8 Miles at 7:04/mile.  I worked four moderate to fast striders into the latter half of the run; also swam a few laps in the hotel pool to cool-down after the run.  

Fun night with my friends.  Good run in God's Country.
