Made the mistake of running a trail that I haven't run in several months - Red Bug mountain bike trail. Well, it used to be quite runnable and a lot of fun. Apparently they have done tons of work to get it back to a true mtb technical trail - lots of moguls and sharp turns and banked features. Kinda cool but my fastest mile was about 8:45. Legs are sore already - glad I'm not racing until saturday

Lovely sunrise run in the neighborhood this morning.  Proud of myself for getting out the door after a fairly late night of photo processing after the City Championship meet.  Travis ran a decent strategic 1600, placing 2nd in 4:28.  He and another kid cruised through 1200 hitting 68, 68, 68, and then Travis made the first (and unfortunate) move with 300 to go - he came off the turn and tried to surge past the other guy down the backstretch... fail.  He tucked in to start the last turn and then regrouped and looked like he may take him down the homestretch, but legs were shot with 20 meters to go.  He then put it in cruise control for a 2:06 5th place finish in the 800 and a 10:36 5th place in the 3200 - more of a workout kinda evening after the 1600.  A good evening all in all.  He gets 10 days of no racing now before Districts next Friday.

Planned a nice easy 5-6 miles as my last run before racing on Saturday.  At 2.5 miles my left achilles exploded... well, thats kinda what it felt like at first.  Flat, straight, level trail with no rolling of ankle or anything - very strange.  Walked for a while and then walked/ran back to the jeep.  Iced it and will see how it goes tomorrow - likely a race morning decision to run or not - bummer.

Pretty good race this morning on the hilly 10K Springtime Tally course.  A bit crowded for first half mile, but went 6:38 for the mostly downhill mile 1.  The mostly downhill last mile was 6:44, and all the hilly ones in the middle were between 7:10 and 7:15.  Really felt fine the whole way and think I could have gone sub 42 if I was in the mood.  Just kinda ran this one for the fun of it - and that it was.
