Well, spring is over in Tallahassee already.  Late afternoon run on the trails with 82 degrees and 90% humidity.  The real indicator of early summer though is the fact that I was swarmed by deer flies for the first time this year - sweet.  I guess everything combined to be good motivation though since I ran noticeably better on this run than last week.  Its a mile and 3/4 fairly flat, a mile and a bit mostly uphill, and another mile and 3/4 slightly downhill back to the trailhead.  Unlike last week, I was able to work the uphill mile pretty good at 7:25 pace - that'll work.

Three miles on the ravine trail plus north loop at between 7:45 and 7:25 pace.  Planned on doing 300, 500, 1000 on the track but could only muster the 300 - zero energy after the somewhat longer than usual warmup I guess.  Stretched and chatted with another masters track dude that I see out there on occasion, then did 6 barefoot striders on the infield and two laps cool down.  Will get the quality track workout in on Fri or Sat - tomorrow is all day District Meet at the home track - concessions duty and shooting pics for 10 hrs - yes!

Up early to get a workout in before heading to the track for all day District Meet.  Ran 2 brisk miles (7:16, 6:40) and another .25 to warm up before 4X200 meter hills with about 500 meter jog/walk recovery.  Did the repeats in 41, 39, 39 and 37 - pretty pleased with the effort.

Boychild helped the 4X800 squad qualify through to regions (2:06 split), and then qualified in the 1600 (5flat) and 3200 (10:50) later in the day (put forth only enough effort to make sure he qualified top 4 - got 2nd in 1600 and 3rd in 3200) - a very good day for him and the team... boys and girls are District Champs!

Easy run from the soccer fields out to Lake Jackson and back - too much big gravel on the trails - I knew there was a reason I haven't done that run in a while.  Kept it right around 8 minutes per mile on the up and down trails.
