After doing flags and feeding some kids, I took Jack for a bit of a run.  What a nice day!  We went pretty slow;  I'm somewhat stiff from last week and all the car sitting yesterday.  It was good to stretch things out, though.  I feel great now.  It's only 10:42 and I have so much Labor Day left, I can hardly decide what to do next.  I guess laundry, and maybe Lagoon?

Another evening run with Jack.  It was windy.  Sometimes the wind would catch the stroller and noticeably slow it down.  Jack stayed awake the whole run, which is unusual.  I guess he was intrigued by the wind.  It was all the way dark by the time we got home.  I hate cars.  Having to stick to the road is a huge drawback to taking him along.

I got up super early (6:45) and did BST to Freedom Hills.  Ugh summarizes this run perfectly.  My legs were dead and the gusting winds didn't help.  By the time I reached pavement, things were more steady, around 7:20 pace, but the trail portion was a dusty walk-fest.

I left with the little A girls at 6:45.  We went to the baseball complex (2 slow miles) where they played in the sand and on the swings.  I did 4 quick miles running laps around the park.  6:45, 6:46, 6:41 and 7:14.  The fourth one was slower cuz it was a mini cooldown mile.  The laps are flat/rolling like the last 8 of TOU.  By the time I finished, there was just enough time to get the girls gathered and home before dark.

I'm going to go hard next weekend.  I've been debating whether to ride the canyon fast, or shoot for a more even pacing plan throughout.  It may be a mistake, but I'm going to head out at 6:45 pace for the first 18 and then see how long I can hold on.   I've looked at splits from several bloggers, and they follow this pattern.  I think/hope the game plan is a solid one.  I think I'm physically capable, and the trick will be holding on mentally.

13 tomorrow morning with Spencer.  We'll hit legacy and run from mile 6 to Farmington,  then come back.  Ahh, taper.  My wife will be so happy.
