Finally got back out for a run today after three days of nuttin - whew.  Decent run on the trails before it boiled over to 90 degrees - ugh.

End of last week deteriorated into trying to get Travis healthy and making last minute plans for getting parents and athletes to the state meet in Jax on Friday.  Trav missed school Tues and half day Thurs with coughing fits and major head and chest congestion.  Friday morning saw him somewhat better as he jumped on the bus at 0700.  His first race was at 1pm and it actually went quite well as he split 2:02 in the 4x800.  Coach had arranged for the 4x8 kids to go back to the hotel to avoid the heat of the day during field events and sprint/hurdle prelims.  Trav took a couple good naps and got a bit of food before heading back for the 1600 at 6:45.  Once again he ran a decent 800... of course there were two more laps.  He went 66, 67, 70, 68 to tie his PR at 4:32 and grab the 8th place podium spot - disappointing when he was sooo primed to crush 4:30, but tremendous considering he couldn't breathe!

Well this evening's run had everything a midsummer run should have - 90 degrees, 90% humidity, deer flies, and nice little bunnies - bunnies good, all else truly ridiculous for mid Spring!

Made it out to the track as sun was setting to try to beat the heat a bit - not too bad.  Did an easy 3 mile warmup then some 200s and some fast barefoot striders on the infield - felt fat and slow, but loved every minute of it.

North Loop time trial - again right at a minute below best time - fine.  Then did 4x200 in 41, 39, 37, 35 very controlled, followed by barefoot striders and 2 laps around infield.

Lake Jackson loop in the heat of the day - bad plan, but made it through.  I always forget that this trail is not nearly as shaded as my other routes - oh well.  Over 20 for the week - back on track.
