AM - 4 miles easy before heading over to the State High School Cross Country Championship Meet in Tally.   Cool morning - bodes well for racing.  

Great meet -- Delaney and I drove up yesterday evening and 4 of her other teammates came up too in order to support their two runners who advanced to State's individually.  New site for the event was really very cool and surprisingly pretty good from a spectating standpoint.  All 8 races were good to watch too.  Delaney's girls ran well - one with a PR and the other close behind.

Got to see Doug and his son Travis (and Doug's parents too - been a while since I have seen them).  Travis had a very very good race and looked exceptionally strong in the last 400 meters.  Doug had related to me that Travis had been suffering from some prolonged URI issues - but he seemed to come through in the clutch today.  Really nice to see.   I understand his team pulled a bit of a surprise and took second place for the meet too.   

Headed back home and did a proper 6 miles this evening after a full day of driving.
