No main races for me in 2020.

So I've been doing mile repeats. Partly motivated by my daughter's HS CC running.

Today I ran my fastest mile since 2009 when still living in UT...

Most importantly my daughter finished in 20:01.4 miles in 127th place and 15th Freshman girl. The day was amazing with 32 boys under 15!

The girls record going down (15:58)!
