Coolish damp neighborhood hilly 5-miler this evening - not too bad.

Way too much of a struggle on the trails this evening.  A bit warmer than last few runs, but just had no energy at all.  Better sleep surely would help.  First week back to school for Travis has me up early to work out and fix his breakfast, then up late messing with XC website etc - ah well, wouldn't have it any other way... big senior year for him.

Not racing on this course Saturday morning (just gonna run around and shoot pics), so this last Thurs training run was my race on this tough trail 5K course.  Unfortunately, nobody showed up that I could work off.  Ran more balanced than last week and cruised under 22 minutes, so thats some progress.  Miles of 7:03, 7:08 and 7:12, then finished up with 21:48.  Garmin reported it as 3.06, but its nearly all under heavy tree cover, so thats pretty close.  Time to ramp things up now for my goal fall 5K on Oct 20.

Late evening run on the trails with temps in the low 80s - not too bad.  Was a much better run than the other night.  Kept right at 8 min pace and actually felt almost like a runner.

Pre-season XC race in the morning - Trav is pretty stoked.  Shooting for sub 17 on a fairly tough course with incredibly poor footing - we shall see.

Logging it just because I did it - was photo interval work this morning while Travis and the gang raced.  Planned to run more this evening, but failed miserably.  Will get in 5-6 tomorrow.

Trav had a great run, right up until GI distress stopped him in his tracks.  Rare for him to have issues on morning runs - really frustrating.  Felt great at first mile in 5:15, still awesome at two miles in 10:25, then slammed a bit after that and actually had to walk a few seconds before struggling in at 17:02.  He was cruising easily with the eventual winner who set the course record at 16:31.  Upside is that he knows he would have gone real close to his 16:20 PR if he had no issues - positive mental attitude!
