| 8 Miles in 54:50, including 1 Mile Easy to warm-up, 4 Mile Tempo Run at 6:24/mile, and 3 Miles at 7:00/mile. Tempo pace slid a little this morning, so it felt good to get this one behind me. Pretty long day and night yesterday, and not much going on in the sleep department. Wesley |

| am: 8 Miles Easy in 1:00:59 (7:38/mile), including 8X200m Repeats during Miles 6 and 7, on a very humid morning of approximately 70 degrees in my West Little Rock neighborhood. pm: 4 Easy Miles in 30:00 (7:30/mile) on treadmill set to 1.0 incline. Total: 12 Miles, predominantly easy, with several striders during the am run. Very excited (and anxious) as I registered for Boston 2012 this morning. Good luck to everyone out there sweating through the new, rolling registration process. No qualifier is more or less deserving...we all put in the work. I hate to think about folks out there (like my father, potentially) who have such a passion and love for the sport, and despite qualifying, may get left out of the race. Wesley |

| 10 Miles in 1:06:18 on a nice morning, 60 degrees and 10 mph breeze, in my West Little Rock neighborhood. After 1 Easy Mile to warm-up, I ran 3 Miles at 6:33/mile, transitioning into 4X0.5 Mile Repeats at 2:55/repeat (0.5 Easy Mile after each repeat); closed out workout with 2 Miles in 12:48, or 6:24/mile. Good weather, good effort, solid training run. Wesley |

| 14 Miles in 1:34:29 (6:45/mile) on a great morning, 56 degrees, in West Little Rock. Up at 3:55 am, piece of wheat bread and half-cup of coffee, followed by GU and 4 ounces of water. Nice training run this morning with the following 4-mile splits: Miles 1 - 4: 27:30 Miles 5 - 8: 54:00 (Roctane) Miles 9 - 12: 1:21:30 Miles 13 - 14: 1:34:29 Of note, I got megaphoned this morning by a Pulaski County Sheriff's Deputy...at Mile 5, cruising downhill on the very empty streets on one of the more enjoyable parts of this run, I see headlights slowing behind me and then hear: "USE THE SIDEWALK." And while I was tempted to turn around and question (1) His jurisdiction, and (2) His rationale for taking the time and effort to spook me at 4:30 am, I figured getting arrested would screw up my run (and then I'd really be pissed). So I jumped on the sidewalk for about a half-mile, and after making the next turn, slid my happy rear back onto the blacktop... The Man will not hold me down. Plus, anybody seen the movie, "RAD", about the newspaper delivery kid who became this BMX race champion? [The soundtrack featured hits like "Send Me and Angel" and "Break the Ice", and along with Gleaming the Cube, RAD helped shape my childhood]. Anyway, in RAD, Crew Jones, the newspaper boy turned BMX champion used this move during the qualifying races where he would jump the rope off the sidewalk onto the blacktop to pick up some time on other racers. It was pretty awesome, and obviously, his background as a newspaper delivery boy had educated him on the relative advantages of blacktop pavement over concrete sidewalks.
