6 miles in the morning. 3 by myself and then 3 with the team. Back to doubles.

7 miles in the afternoon. Warm up and then 15 minute tempo run in the really windy weather. I had the boys draft off of me and then push the last 3-4 minutes on their own. The team did well in the crummy conditions. Cool down after wards.

Big boy run with Dave, Steve, and Clyde this morning. Nice out with the cloud cover. Got rained on a little bit. Didn't get to the workout this afternoon due to a 3 hour meeting with a parent :) The life of a teacher.

3 easy miles in the cold morning with the team.

5 more miles this afternoon on our annual Halloween Indian Run. I dressed as Toothless from How to Train a Dragon. Everyone thought I looked like a dinosaur. Fun afternoon. Hard Tabatta session afterwards. Used 10 lb. weights. I am trashed.

5 miles this morning. Did the 2 mile warm up with the team and then timed them on an Impulse 2 mile run on the track. Team ran very well in the cold weather. Ben was a touch late so I hopped in and ran with him. We ran just over 10:30 for 2 miles. Solid effort after a hard Tabatta session yesterday.

3 easy miles this afternoon with the team since school got out early.

Due to a long week of work and needing a change of scenery, I decided to do a 50k trail race next week in Las Vegas. I knew I needed to get some good TOFM. I met up with Steve our usual Utah Hill loop. It was pitch black and hard to see for the first 14 mile loop even with the headlamp. We were enjoying each other's conversation when I caught a rock and wrecked pretty good. I had my gloves on which made a big difference. My knee got cut up, elbow chewed up, and quad cut pretty good. I assessed the damage and kept on going. What can you do? First loop went well with Steve and he called it good. I fueled up with food and some fluids and headed out for a 2nd loop. It was much easier to see on the 2nd loop so I was able to push the pace a little bit. The big climbs felt good and I suprisingly felt fresher on the 2nd loop. With 6 miles to go, I really hammered down and felt awesome. I finished in 3:55. Not bad considering we were laxi taxi on the first loop. Happy to clear the mind and get a fun run in to end kind of a bummer week. It was much needed. Excited for the race next weekend.

Norah really enjoyed assessing my cuts and bruises. I got them cleaned and they still look bad. Oh well!
