Woke up early to get 4 miles in before practice. First official day of XC practice. Great turnout and I am super excited to see what the team can accomplish this year. Lots of kids out this early is a great sign. Just need to keep everyone consistent and healthy.

5.5 miles with the boys out on the trails. .5 mile warm up and then averaged 7:30/mile. Core and stretch after.

6 miles this afternoon. The heat was killing me. I still needed to get my workout out. I ran from my parent's house and did 12x1:00 min. Fartleks w/1:00 min. recovery. Felt good to push but the heat was a bugger.

3 miles before practice and then .5 mile warm up.

3 miles with the girls today. Very optimistic with what they can do. Should be fun to watch.

Planned on getting out for more this afternoon/evening but the kids didn't want to fall asleep so I was up late with them. The joys of being a parent. No biggy. Big day planned for tomorrow.

Met up early with Dave today. Homer put a dent in my car. He did it on purpose. He will be hearing from my insurance company. Did the DC loop and did 4 miles worth of tempo. Getting going again with the speed stuff. Hit 5:44, 5:38, 5:43, and 5:32 for the miles. Good start and I felt good. 10 miles total.

Got to practice a touch early so I added on another 2 miles before we got started.

5.5 miles with the boys again this morning. Still have a great group coming out. Little bit of barefoot running after. 

15 minutes worth of pool running this afternoon. Did this a long time ago but haven't for a while. I will start doing more of this. Solid day.

Met up at Dave's house at 5:15 for our run. We ran from his house down to Sullivan Park to meet up with everyone else. Ran with Haydo, Steve, Ashley, and Aaron. It has been a while since I have ran with Aaron. Good to see him again. Clyde met up with us near Staheli Farms and proceeded to cut me off right from the get go. Lovely! We kept the pace steady until we stopped at Little Valley Park. Took a GU and then started to do a mini progression. Hit a few miles at 6:00, 5:50, and then then low 5:30 with a one or two just under 5:30. Aaron and I took off a bit and I just wanted to be with him as long as possible. Only was a few steps behind him for the last little bit. Cooled down back to Dave's house. Nice little climb back up to his house. Good push for the day. 19 miles total.

Happy with the first week back of running quality workouts. Hope to keep things rolling. Fun to be out running with some great runners. Makes it lots of fun.
