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

Three-quarter mile warm-up to meet Dave followed by 14.5 Miles along the Arkansas River Trail on a warm, muggy day in Central Arkansas; first 7.5 Miles to Big Dam Bridge in in 54:36 (7:17/mile); after turning around, dropped the pace to approximately 8:00/mile.

Including cool-down back to apartment, I ran 16 Total Miles. 

Excellent run.

14.5 Miles in 1:52 on TM; flipping between South Carolina v. Vandy and the Republican National Convention.

Who thought Taylor Hicks was a good choice for the RNC?  Honestly, he wouldn't even be allowed in the building at the Ds' convention...

16.5 Miles in 1:55 on TM set to 1.0 incline; first 12.5 Miles in 83 minutes (6:40 pace with a fast half-mile to close it out) and last 4 Miles in 32 minutes.  

So, it's the appropriate time for a self-assessment.  I ran lots of aerobic miles this week, and today, the first 9.5-10 Miles at MP felt pretty good. It was pretty tough from that point foward, though.  Even the easy miles at 8:00 pace felt like work.  But I take solace in the fact that the high mileage, draining as it is, will pay dividends this fall.
