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

Half-mile warm-up followed by 8 Miles in 51:27 (6:26/mile) on a warm, humid afternoon around 70 degrees on Hwy. 171 between Malvern and Hot Springs, Arkansas.  Half-mile cool-down back up the driveway to my parents' house.   

I would have preferred to take today off, but tomorrow morning, I am having a septoplasty and right inferior turbinectomy (deviated septum), so probably no running until Wednesday at the earliest.  Good thing I started tapering this week!

2 Easy Miles in 15:00 to warm-up, followed by 4-Mile Tempo run in 25:00 (6:15/mile) on the treadmill set to 1.0 incline; short water break and 2 Easy Miles to cool down. 

8 Total Miles two days after surgery to fix my deviated septum.  Snout still pretty sore, and weight was down almost 5 pounds after reduced appetite the last couple of days.  Frankly, I didn't have a lot of energy or "pep" today, but it was to be expected, I guess. 

Mostly easy stuff the rest of the week with the possible exception of a few intervals at 5K pace and a medium-long run on Saturday, during which I hope to pop off a few miles at target MP.

1 Easy Mile to warm-up followed by 1 Mile at Easy MP (6:58) and 4X1.0 Mile Repeats at 5:49/repeat with a half-mile of jogging to recovery after each repeat; 2 minute bio break gave me a little extra rest after second repeat, and with the except of the final half-mile of the fourth repeat, I ran pretty strong and comfortably.

13 Miles in 1:24:59 (6:32/mile) on a cool morning of 45 degrees in my neighborhood.  

Legs a little heavy again today, but overall, pretty good effort for final medium-long run heading into a race week.   

The rest of this day will be focused on fun and family, with a second, larger birthday celebration for my daughter, Sophie, and some hog callin' later this evening when the Razorbacks welcome the Tennessee Volunteers to town for Homecoming.
