6 miles in the morning with the kids.  Hidden Valley x 2.  The morning runs will be great with the daylight savings but I won't enjoy the darkness in the afternoon.  The weather will make me happy though.  I lifted weights after I ran this morning.  It felt good.

Ran another 6 miles with the kids this afternoon down along River Rd. and then looped back up along the golf course.  7:18/mile.

7.75 miles in the morning.  I did 2 miles by myself and then had to take a quick VPB.  I then did 3 miles with the kids and then finished off with another 2.75 miles to complete the morning.  Very successful.

I did 5 miles with the kids which included 8 x dirt hill climbs out in the desert.  It was a good workout and the kids enjoyed it.  They actually enjoyed a hill workout.  Yeah.  I had them lift weights after wards.

8 miles this afternoon with the kids.  We went up into the Industrial Park and keep the pace steady.  I got back to the school and did 2 more miles on the track.  Both of them were right under my Tinman pace.  It felt good.  Little bit chilly this afternoon.  7:14/mile.

6 miles in the cold morning.  3 of them were with Darian.  This was the first time I had to wear my beanie, gloves, and long pants.  It was quite chilly.  I did Hidden Valley x 1 and then up to The Spectrum and back.

 I did 5.10 miles with the kids today.  I sent them off and then tried to catch them.  I didn't want to go crazy fast but ended up doing 6:36/mile which included 8 x 100m strides.  Perfect running weather this afternoon though.

6 miles in the morning.  Another chilly one.  I ran 3 miles with some of the kids over towards the bridge and then extended another 3 with Dace.  A great day to be alive.

6 in the afternoon (warm up/cool down).  Went over after work with some of my kids and ran a mock race with some of the Pineview kids.  Dave wanted me to push his varsity boys and I wasn't sure if I would be able to hold on.  This was officially my 2nd cross country race ever.  I did my first one in 2007 at the Footlocker Race and this was my second.  Boy did I forget how hard it is to push on grass and dirt!  My goal was to sit behind his top varsity boys and see what happens at the end.  I was in 4th overall for most of the race and just behind Trevor, Tyson, and Casey.  With about a 1/2 mile to go, young legs kicked in and smoked me.  Those 3 and then Dave's 4th guy (passed me with less than .25 to go) really showed me what it means to kick it in.  I finished with a 15:54 which I was pleased with.  Dave's boys were just a few seconds in front of me.  High school kids are fast.  I would have much rather ran 26 miles today rather than 3.

My place put me in Pineview's top 5 for varsity.  Maybe Dave has room for one more?  I have some eligibility left :)

Met up with Dave, Steve, and Bill and ran from the old store out into Ivins and then back along the Snow Canyon Parkway.  We kept it relaxed for the first half and then I needed to stop for a VPB (5 minutes) and then we picked it up.  We kept the second half all under 6:30/mile and finished with some Tinman miles.  Nice finish to the week.

I went and watched/volunteered at the triathlon today.  Katey and my brother-in-law did it.  It was a perfect day.

I am excited for next week.  We will see how it goes.
