Three mile warm-up (ravine trail plus north loop), then 6X200 at 36-38 seconds, followed by 4 barefoot striders on the soccer field. Two laps cool down and then pushups, dips and a bit of core work.  Lovely afternoon at the track... felt very much like Spring.  One more week of XC and then its gearing up for track season - woooo.

Running in the evening pretty much stinks - no more excuses, I'm getting up early  tomorrow and banging out the run.  Easy run around the neighborhood - no energy and missed Jeopardy - hmph.

Regular figure 8 at the trails - 8 min first mile, then 7:20, 7:17, and 7:15 through the middle, and dropping back to 8-8:15 to finish the last 1.4.  Very nice morning to run - sandy parts of the trails were firm from the rain a couple nights ago, and temps were mid 40s.  The middle miles were moderate effort - will try to drop those to 7-flat next week.

From the Gardens trailhead, uphill on the new trail to the ravine trail plus north loop.  I truly can't wait until Saturday (last XC meet for the boy child) - maybe I can shed the distractions and focus more on me during my runs  :)

Covered about 3 miles in fartlek mode running around the outside of the fence taking pics during the girls and boys XC State Champs.  Highlight of my year for the past 3 seasons.  As close to winter olympics biathloning as I'll ever get... run 800 meters, stop and shoot pics, run 800 meters, stop and shoot pics - big fun.

Travis ran well considering stomach pain once again - gotta get that sorted out.  He placed 21st overall in 16:47, just 8 seconds shy of his PR, and the team placed 3rd.  More impressive, again considering his GI issues, he was really struggling at 1.5 miles and lagging about 10 meters behind our #3 runner.  The halfway point is in the boonies on this course and I hollered out for him to get his head up and close the gap.  By the 2-mile mark, he was back on #3's heels, and, coming up the finishing hill, he went by him to finish 5 seconds ahead - nice little victory on a rough day.
