Excited for Nike Southwest this weekend. Should be some great races.

Super tired this morning due to working on a paper late into the evening. Only got 4 easy miles in this morning before a long drive to Phoenix.

10 miles in the morning around the Mesa streets. Headed west from the hotel and just kept it going. Didn't hit too many lights but ended up really enjoying the run. Fun to run in different territory when on vacation.

3 easy miles with the team to shake the legs out.

3.5 miles this afternoon with the team running the Nike course and then did strides after.

Solid day.

Stayed up late finishing my paper. I was seriously trashed so I slept in. Graduate school is kicking my butt. 

The team ran okay at Nike today. The boys were in the championship race and then girls were in the open race. Both teams did not place as high as I thought they would but still ran okay. It was an extremely stacked year with fast competition. I try to continue to be a better coach and need to fine tune a few things for next year to make the team better. 

3 easy miles this morning.

Nice day off of work.

2 miles before everyone came over to my house.

We did my Barrel Roll run this morning to kick off Thanksgiving. Ran over to the trail and then just thoroughly enjoyed it. Dave has never been on the trail so it was nice to introduce it to him. Perfect weather and tons of fun.

Lots to be thankful for this year!

Met up with Steve, Dave, and James by Staheli Farms. We started in the dark and made our way on the trail out towards Sand Hollow. We looped around the back side of the hill going towards Warner Valley. Dave saw a "fun" sand hill and suggested I go up it. Not one of the brighter things I have ever done but it was something I can check off the bucket list. Great trail run today with the guys.

Ran with James and Dave this cold morning. Started at Dave's house in Dogtown and then ran out through the fields by Staheli Farms and then came back around by Stone Cliff to River Rd. and then Telegraph. Solid run and great way to finish off the week. Happy to get some solid runs in this week.

3 miles this morning with the team.

10.25 miles this afternoon. 7 miles with the girls doing some 1000s and finishes on the track. I then ran over to Little Valley and looked at a house with my parents. They are looking at moving over there.

18 miles this morning running around California with Dave. I did a little before our run and then a little after. The humidity and rain kept everything nice and wet. Glad to be done with this one.

3 more miles on the Footlocker course with the team. Hopefully the weather stops raining so it dries out. It was nice and muddy.
