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

AM:  5 Miles with my brother, Luke, on a great morning on the trails at Lake Catherine State Park.  Nice and easy running up and back down the mountain; great conversation.

PM:  10 Barefoot Miles in 1:07:40 (6:46 pace), including 6X800m Repeats around the infield of the Scott Field (Hall High School) track; great workout, 90 degrees, but lower humidity.  Grass a little wet and mushy in places, but I managed 2:45, 2:40, 2:42, 2.38, 2:42, and 2.38, respectively, for the 800m repeats.

Total:  15 Miles.  Fun training day.

AM:  5 Easy Miles on TM.

PM:  9 Miles in 1:07, including 8X200m striders.  

Forgot to mention my crack analysis of last night's MNF double header on ESPN...the Ravens are still good; the Bengals are still helpless; the Raiders and Chargers are still mediocre.

Total:  14 Miles.

12 Miles in 1:29:00 on a misty, mid-day run along Highway 171, then up Highway 290 to Camp Tanako, the Methodist Church Camp that I attended every summer in junior high and high school.  My grandfather and grandmother (who passed last week) were Camp Directors half a century ago when trying to save money for their first (and current) home in Malvern, Arkansas.  Sentimental running...

Ran final 2 Miles in under 13 minutes.
