Classic t-shaped route (actually more of a Y) in Foxwood and along Fox Hollow area. Kind of sort of trying to run heart rate around 130 average but started looking at pace instead and ended up doing neither one very well, but then again not too far off from where I wanted to be. Still in the ballpark of easy but not too, too slow.
Walked Stella after the run but did not end up running with her this morning.
In the evening, went to Anclote HS to watch Tom at the track meet. First meet back after being off for break last week. Fast freshman Paul was supposed to run the 1600 with Tom but was a little bit hurt and playing it safe. Gulf HS runner John J ran but was also not fully up to speed. Race started and not too far into it (but not the very start), Tom moved out front (can't remember if it was the first lap or into the second lap) and slowly opened up a bigger gap on the number two runner - also named Noah (Tom's real first name). Down the last straightaway, Noah from River Ridge closed some of the gap but did not get dangerously close and Tom won the heat with 4:52.96, his second best ever time, and fastest time while winning the heat.
It was a nice night to watch the meet.
