Slept great last night and ended up running 17 miles at a pretty good clip to wake the legs up from the long drive yesterday. Went up along the canal trail again and did an out and back from my brother-in-law's house. Eased in to the run and then got moving with some quicker miles. Ended up with a 6:30/mile average. Happy with this to end the week. Love running on this canal trail because it is a nice groomed dirt trail that feels great to run on. Absolutely covered in bugs after the run. People were giving me funny looks. Maybe it was my face.
The Nike Chandler Invite was amazing. The distance crew represented well. Rachel ran 5:31 for the 1600 in almost 80 degree weather! Kale ran 4:25 for the 1600 and almost won his heat. Laynee ran 11:22 in the 3200 to break her own school record. In the boys 3200, Jaiden placed 2nd with a 9:26, Josh placed 8th with a 9:33, and Sage placed 14th with a 9:44! Totally worth the trip down and happy to see everyone run so well.
