Routine dumb bell workout in the morning before final preparations for the XC banquet.  As usual, the banquet was well attended and well received.  Even though this is probably my 10th or so track or XC banquet with Coach Droze, he always makes it interesting and entertaining and makes each kid on the team feel special.  Travis received his 2nd year varsity letter pin and a challenge from coach to make the top 10 all-time list for the school - just needs to drop another 15 seconds over the next 2 years.

This evening I did 2.5 miles hard and then 4 striders and a half-mile warm down.  Looking forward to earlier bedtimes now that I am finished with my XC website and photo/slideshow duties.

Gnite

My knee (the bad, offensive right knee) has been tweaky since running around on Saturday shooting pics at the Senior All-Star Meet, so bailed on plyos this morning, and no running.  Did dumb bell circuit and core work.

Plyometrics this morning - no real issues with the knee.  Will run 3 hard this evening followed by 6-8 fast striders... unless the knee complains at some point along the way.

 

In the evening, I did just over 2 miles at a bit under 7 min/mile and then 2 X 180 meter hills and 4 striders, followed by an easy half mile.  This was a good day.  With a few degrees more warmth, I would probably do 3-3.5 hard before the hills/sprints.

40 minutes of core work in the morning and 30 minutes of upper body in the evening. No running - tomorrow looks nice for a track workout after work.

Forty-five minutes of yoga this morning - been way too long since I've done that.

Was sunny and 45 at lunch, so I traded food for a quick run.  Did 2.8 miles at about 7:15 pace, followed by 4X150 striders and then a half mile warm down.  The striders felt good - not good=fast, but controlled and strong for slightly longer sprints.

Impromptu trip to the coast with the wife yesterday for one night.  Ran 2 miles easy down to Mashes Sands Beach this morning, and on the way back did 1 min on 1 min off with the "on" at about mile pace.  Then did 4 striders.  Chilly but lovely down by Ocklockonee Bay.
