| 12 Miles at 7:07 on a cold, 30 degree mid-morning run on Hwy. 171 between Malvern and Hot Springs, Arkansas. Pace reflects a 90-second pit stop that included a bio break and layer shedding, so all in all, I was pretty happy with the workout. My knees and legs are a little fatigued after 6 straight days of running (a lot for me), so a scheduled day off on Monday comes at a perfect time. GPS lost satellite reception on the latter half of the run, but because I ran an out-and-back, I was able to stay on track and finish relatively strong. Wesley |

10 Miles total on treadmill set to 1.0 incline. Today's workout included the following:
1 Mile warm-up;
3 Miles at 7:13;
4X800m Repeats at 3:07 (6:15); 400m recovery jog between repeats; and
3 Miles at 6:35.
I felt good today despite drinking coffee all morning and being a little anxious due to work, holiday plans, etc., etc., etc.

| 4 Miles at 7:03 on a beautiful evening of 41 degrees in Little Rock; bright moon and clear skies made this an enjoyable run, despite the late start (11:00 pm after a long day at work and dinner/movie with family); followed-up with six sets of pull-ups and some ab work at the neighborhood park near my house. This was a scheduled, easy run, but I incorporated 6X30 second strides into Mile 4, which pushed my pace down below Marathon Pace; first three miles at 7:30. For you movie lovers out there, I definitely recommend "The Fighter." And no, it is not a Rocky remake. It is well-written and wonderfully acted, and while it does share a certain grittiness with the original Rocky, it is a bit darker and more serious than Sly's classic boxing film. Amy Adams and Christian Bale will be nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Actress, respectively, and the smart (and early) money says Bale will take home the Oscar. Wesley |

| 10 Miles at 7:03 on a long loop through West Little Rock that included a number of brutal, lengthy hills; two forced stops at intersections pushed my pace up a little (and messed with my mojo), but other than being a little low on energy, I felt pretty good. Wesley |

| 6 Miles at 6:58 in route to Grandpapa and Grandmama's House (my parents) for Christmas number two with the family in Hot Springs, Arkansas; ran into a strong headwind and some strange looking white stuff (just a dusting) in the air. Merry Christmas! Wesley |
