Greenbelt - 1:31

Got started a little later than I wanted to this evening, so the last 3 miles were in the dark. Really great evening - the leaves were changing, it was nice and brisk and I even saw 2 giant great horned owls roosting in some cottonwood trees at about mile 9. The last couple of miles were tough as my body started getting fatigued and my achilles starting hurting. I did stop a few times to stretch and that helped a bit. Started at the DoubleTree and headed downstream. I managed to get about 20-25 minutes on the dirt section heading toward Eagle, which was nice.

Borah track - 33:02

Didn't get out until 10 p.m. - need to stop running so late. I did an easy, easy 4 mile jog with Leo to stretch out my sore calves. I did 4 x 100 easy strides at the track, but the rest was just mileage at 8-8:20 pace.

A.M. - 15 minutes of easy weights and core

P.M. -1.5 mile wo; 3 x (:30, :30, 2:00); 2.5 mile wd

Brought some of my 9th graders to Cassia Park to work out with Borah's team. We did a whistle workout with pace changes. It was tough, and kind of fun to see some of my former junior high runners putting the hurt on me. They have come a long way.  My 9th graders stepped up and ran hard, which was cool. Did a bit of fartlek on the cooldown when I remembered halfway home I'd left my keys at the park!

Borah xc practice - 23:25

Moderate pace with my 9th graders and some of Borah's kids. We ran on the canals and in the neighborhoods. Also did drills and 6 x 50m strides. Felt sore from yesterday and tired from lack of sleep.

Ann Morrison Park - 1:15

Ran at a varied pace while watching the high school city meet. Most of it pretty slow, although I did run some quicker stuff to get from point to point and cheer them on. Great fall afternoon again. It's been a nice week of weather.

Ann Morrison Loop+ - 44:43

Ran the loop easy (28 min) with Conrad and Aja after school on another beautiful, 70-75 degree day. When I finished, I ran back down to the greenbelt and did 8 x 1:00 hard/1:00 easy on the way down. Hard effort on the fartlek portion (made harder by dehydration).

Hulls Gulch to Crane Creek - 1:27

Great trail run on a awesome afternoon. Went up Hulls to the junction, and headed left to Bob's trail. Gained about 1,100' in the 4 miles up to 8th Street. Then went down Crane Creek and behind the golf course to Bogus Basin Rd. Started adding some time on the Harrison Hollow trails but I was getting too fatigued and sore so I called it a day.

 P.M. - 25 minutes of weights and core at Gold's.
