AM - Went out with Nikki after a late wake up. Started out and legs started feeling really good and it was a great conversation with my wife. At about mile 3 we ran into a dog that my friend has, who watches my dog when I go out of town. My dog went nuts so I ran the other dog home and left my wife for a bit. As excited as my dog was this turned into a 5:30ish mile, not what I planned on. Met my wife for her last mile then finished on a canal loop that I haven't done in a couple years. My dog loved cashing the ducks in the water and running off leash. I might have to make this more of a habit again. PM - 6 at the high school track during Jr High practice. I coaxed one of the decent 8th graders to run one of my 5x600 with me. I did a 400m float in between. 1 - 2:07(5:30), 2- 2:07 (5:30), 3-2:12 (5:40), 4-2:12 (5:40), 5-2:13 (5:42). He then joined me up for another 1.25 cool down at around a 6:40 pace. It was fun to work with the kids. The local 8th grade stud who runs around a 5:05 mile wouldn't run with us. I know him and his dad well and I'll keep working on him when I go. I think I might sneak down more often to help out. 6/38:01/6:20
