| Random strip of service road off highway near Entergy Service Center in Hot Springs. Very busy, but productive, day at work and limited time after work because I met my parents at the aforementioned service center to help my parents unload some things that they brought back from Charlottesville. They have been in VA the last couple of weeks to help my brother (and) family get settled in for a life of academia (Luke starts PHD thid fall). But I digress... 3 mile repeats at 5:41, 5:44, and 6,00; equal distance jog before each repeat; quick 800m repeat to close out 7 Total Miles. Wesley |

AM: 6-Mile Progressive on treadmill set to 1.0 incline: 6:58, 6:48, 6:40, 6:31, 6:18, and 6:07. Good, efficient run before morning meetings scheduled at work.
PM: 3 Easy Miles followed by 4 Miles at MP on treadmill set to 1.0 incline.
As much as I love running outside, it was nice to be back indoors today after several days of running in triple digit heat. Managed to work in a little abb and resistance training as well. PM (Late): 7 Miles in around 55 minutes om Hwy. 171 near my parents' home.

| In my haste to make an 8:00 am meeting at my office building in Little Rock (I had dinner and stayed with my parents in Hot Springs), I ended up running shoeless. So, I took my medicine and ran barefoot (actually in socks) for 12 Miles in 94 minutes on the treadmill. The thing is, the only time previously that I have run barefoot was for a couple of miles on the shoreline at the beach. And that doesn't count...so I think tonight, why not give it a shot, and in the process, turn a negative into a new and poaitive experience. I know what most of you eliters, road warriors, and seasoned marathoners are thinking: naive, wreckless, and well, stupid come to mind. And while it's true my feet are beat up and hurt like hell, I got my 12 Miles in... Wesley |

| 20 Miles in 2:44, which includes thee 1-2 minute electrolyte/cooling station breaks; total of 5 minutes walking "rest" on a 103 degree afternnon scorcher. Stationed an ice chest with four gatorades at the bottom of my parents' driveway; ran three six-mile out-and-backs and a two-mile out-and-back to get 20 even and 90 Miles for the week. 6-Mile Splits (running time only here) were as follows: Miles 1-6: 43:30 Miles 7-12: 45:00 Miles 13-18: 52:00 Ran the final 2 Miles in around 17 minutes, or 8:30/mile. About half the miles were on pavement and half on the dirt/grass shoulder (looking for shade when I could find it); bounced on and off. Off to enjoy some homemade ice cream with my kids. Yum!!!
