Nothing on Friday but a bit of running around the XC course watching Travis and the boys and girls in the district meet.  Trav took the title in 17:02 (really good time on our course), and the boys secured their 12th championship in 15 years - on to Regions!

Yesterday was a bust as well, although very productive in the house and garage - thats something.

Just finished a real good 5 miler out to Lake Jackson and back up the hill.  First mile easy at 8:20 and then did the others between 7:30 and 7:45.  Good run on a beautiful early afternoon.  Was both inspired and stressed by watching Bret's progress in NY.  I'm sure you're a bit disappointed, but it was great fun watching and yelling at my computer screen  - good job.

Time change and cool mornings inspired me to rededicate myself to consistent training.  So far so good (first day).  Started at the track and did 1.25 warmup to start of Lake Overstreet trail.  On Overstreet I did 6X 2 min on 1 min off, with the ons at between 6:10 and 6:30 pace.  Final rep was uphill heading back to track, but it wasn't the slowest, so that was good.  Jogged it on in to the track to complete 5 miles total.

Successfully made it out the door two mornings in a row!  Ran the full perimeter run on my usual trails - just under 6 miles.  Not even the critters were up and about this morning.  I guess they haven't adjusted to the time change yet.

Morning workout starting from the track and then doing 2X ravine trail tempo run.  The loop is 1.7 mi and I went 13:05 first loop (7:40 pace) followed by 11:31 second loop (6:45 pace) with no rest between loops.  I was satisfied with the effort, but was breathing considerably harder than I would have hoped at end of second loop. Finished up with about a mile around the school and back to the track.

Off to Lake City tomorrow afternoon for Travis' region meet on Saturday morning.  He's very fired up, but quite nervous about being the expected champ - not a position he's used to.  Course is supposed to be pretty fast.  He's going to work through 2 miles comfortably hard and then try to steadily separate from the field.

Really nice XC course tour this afternoon.  If Trav and the boys pay attention to the many tangent opportunities, this course can produce lots of PRs.  Check ya later.
