| | 5 miles this morning. Did the 2 mile warm up with the team and then timed them on an Impulse 2 mile run on the track. Team ran very well in the cold weather. Ben was a touch late so I hopped in and ran with him. We ran just over 10:30 for 2 miles. Solid effort after a hard Tabatta session yesterday.
3 easy miles this afternoon with the team since school got out early.

| | Due to a long week of work and needing a change of scenery, I decided to do a 50k trail race next week in Las Vegas. I knew I needed to get some good TOFM. I met up with Steve our usual Utah Hill loop. It was pitch black and hard to see for the first 14 mile loop even with the headlamp. We were enjoying each other's conversation when I caught a rock and wrecked pretty good. I had my gloves on which made a big difference. My knee got cut up, elbow chewed up, and quad cut pretty good. I assessed the damage and kept on going. What can you do? First loop went well with Steve and he called it good. I fueled up with food and some fluids and headed out for a 2nd loop. It was much easier to see on the 2nd loop so I was able to push the pace a little bit. The big climbs felt good and I suprisingly felt fresher on the 2nd loop. With 6 miles to go, I really hammered down and felt awesome. I finished in 3:55. Not bad considering we were laxi taxi on the first loop. Happy to clear the mind and get a fun run in to end kind of a bummer week. It was much needed. Excited for the race next weekend.
Norah really enjoyed assessing my cuts and bruises. I got them cleaned and they still look bad. Oh well!

7.25 miles this afternoon with the boys at Little Valley Park. We did 12x400m grass repeats. I ran with different boys each one and ended up hitting them all between 1:06-1:18. It was a progression run with the repeats. Very solid workout for the boys. Good start to the week.

| | 12.2 miles this morning with the boys. Met Steve a touch early and did 2 extra miles. 26 degrees starting this morning. Chilly! Ran the usual Wednesday loop once Dave showed up. Interesting conversation about cross country and the joys of coaching :)
3 miles this afternoon. Warmed up with everyone and cooled down with them. Timed the Michigan today so I didn't do the workout.

| | We are in Vegas this weekend so my dad and I can go see Frank Caliendo. My heel was bugging me all day yesterday and into this morning. Plus, I think I got some bug that was going around. Decided to just stay in bed.

| | 5 miles in the rain in Mesa by myself. 3 more miles this morning with the team in the rain. It rained the rest of the day. We went to the Museum of Natural History which was pretty cool.
Ran the Nike Southwest course this afternoon. Nice and muddy.

| | 5 miles around Clyde's neighborhood before meeting up with the guys. Usual loop talking about the most obscure things. Always interesting stuff. Added another mile with Dave to get 16 for the day. Now I get to drive back to Phoenix to see family. Wasn't I just there last weekend? Should be good weather though.

| | Ran along a canal trail in Phoenix. Awesome to have trail running in the middle of the city. Ran from the hotel, along the trail, and then to my brother-in-law and sister-in-laws house. The weather was nice and balmy. 6:58/mile. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Much to be grateful for this year.

| | 12 miles along the same canal trail but going in the opposite direction. Perfect weather and just enjoyed the run again. Finally starting to get my legs back.
Did another 3 miles this afternoon with Katey. Nice time running with her.

| | Didn't go as far due to having a lot of family things today. 8 miles total with a bunch of fartleks thrown in because of the city and all of the stop lights. Same route yesterday out on the canal. Loads of fun. Perfect weather the last couple of days. Not looking forward to the drive back home.
