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

13 Miles along Highway 171 near my parents' home in Malvern, Arkansas; first 6.5 with my Dad between 8:00-8:30/mile followed by 6.5 a little more quickly between 7:00-7:30/mile.  Hot and extremely humid, but it was a good run, and I paticularly enjoyed the first half with my Dad.

Out the door at 5:00 am for 16 Miles in approximately 2 hours into Lake Catherine State Park and back to my parents' house; 75 degrees and humid, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

PM (early):  12 Miles in 1:31 on TM; Miles 11 and 12 at 6:58/mile.

PM (late):  1 mile warm-up followed bt 8X800m Repeats at 6:00 pace (2), 5:56 pace (2), 5:52 pace (2), and 5:49 pace (2); half-mile easy jog (4 minutes) to recover after each repeat and 1 mile to cool down for 10 Total Miles.  Repeats 7 and 8 extremely difficult, requiring support via TM rails, as well as angry feelings...but the healthy kind of anger that creates an edge.

Total:  22 Miles.

PM (early):  10.5 Miles in 71 minutes (6:46/mile); solid MP effort for Miles 1-8 at 6:35/mile; last 2.5 hovering between 7:00-7:30 pace to cool down; no water or gels on a warm and muggy day in the 80s.

PM (late):  30 minutes of easy jogging; between 3.5 - 4.0 Miles, so I guess I'll be conservative and only count 3.5 (never want to be accused of fudging the numbers).

Total:  14 (and possibly more) Miles.

17 Miles in 2:17 in triple digit heat in Malvern.

After my paternal grandmother's funeral in Malvern, I joined my extended family for a huge meal at my Granddad's house; meal included about half of a coconut pie, which was so good...

After visiting for a couple of hours, I fought off a nap and opted for a long run in some smokin' heat. Ran 8.5 Miles to my maternal grandfather's house on the outskirts of Malvern. This is my Mom's father, and though surprised to see me, he greeted me with homemade lemonade and Arkansas spring water. After cooling off with my very cool Granddaddy, who invited me to go dancing with him tonight, I ran another 8.5 Miles back into Malvern, passed my grandmother's cemetery, and back to my Granddad's house.

Great dinner of leftovers while discussing politics with the few remaining family members who hung around.

I'm tired.
