AM - in NYC - did an easy loosen up 2.5 mile run into Central Park and along the route to the finish line.  Weather is great, I felt good and very excited in anticipation of running tomorrow. 

Delaney had her high school cross country district meet in Sarasota this morning while I was en route to NY, and had a breakthrough race - she ran 21:36 for the 5k and was first on her team - that was represented nearly a one minute improvement on her personal best.  She did not know at time of her text and call to me if the team finished high enough to advance to regionals - but I would have to say it was a great time for her to peak at what may have been her last race of this season.  I was extremely pleased and proud and even inspired by her performance especially as a freshman and knowing how we ran together through the summer for her base training.

Just checked - 4A District 4 results still not posted to flrunners. Very cool for Delaney - hope they move on to Regions.

Good luck tomorrow - trust your training and put the pedal to the metal.

Update edit... bummer, Palm Harbor finished 9th by 8 points, and I believe that in a district with 15 or more scoring teams, the top 8 go on to Regional - ugh. Great first season for Delaney, and I see nearly the whole team returns next year - cool.
