Philippians 4:13

Watched the NYC marathon then went to church.  Hips are really tight and sore the last week.  

3 easy miles before having some friends for dinner to remember a dear friend who just passed away. (Glide Boost)

5:30am...5 miles with Moxie on a cool and windy morning. (Guide White)

5 miles in Freeman Park on the XC course with a warmup and cool down. Chilly and windy. (Tangent)

3 miles with Katelyn in a light rain, trying to keep up with her!  (Supernova Green)

3 miles after dropping off katelyn. (Glide Boost)

A friend asked me to run on a Master's team for USATF Club XC championships in Spokane, interested but my mind and body (and wife!) say no.  My hips have been aching the last two weeks with the increase in mileage lately and running a bit harder to help Katelyn train for NXR.  With that, my mind would still want to compete hard but not sure my body is up for that.  Plus it is in Spokane in December and with all the other stuff happening (travel, work, holiday stuff) and the long drive this time of year, not sure I am up for it.

Sore hip flexors, took the morning off.

6 miles, cool and a bit windy. Time to put these shoes away (too cold) or use them for the TM. (Tangent)

Skipped an early run to get some recovery time for my hip flexors (most sore in the morning). 

6 easy miles at lunch on a cool day. Retiring the Ride's. (Ride Orange)

2 fast miles with Katelyn after work.  Short as she had a class event to get to. (Supernova Green)

Horrified (again) by the violence in California and the hate demonstrated in Washington, DC.  My son is dealing with issues at his dorm with a student who has broken the weapons code and created a hostile environment for students.  In light of all this hatred, I am concerned for his and others safety and unsure what steps the school is taking.

7 miles easy on a chilly but sunny day.  Both legs were tweaked (left knee, right ankle) so this was a bit slow. (Supernova Green)

6am...6.5 miles on the TM at the gym at AP of 6:31 including warmup and cooldown.  Cold outside, did not want to run in 19 degrees.  (Altra Impulse)

Boise today for Katelyn to run NXRNW tomorrow.

5:15am...7 miles in the Tuscany neighborhood before heading out to Eagle Island for the NXR race.  Katelyn runs fairly early.  (Supernova Green)

4 miles helping katelyn warmup and cooldown and running around the park watching her race (and following my buddy Erik during the community race).   (Guide Boost)

So proud of Katelyn for running through this race and competing hard and setting a course PR (even with a trip!).  Lunch with my brother then drove home to IF.   A good weekend so far.
