Ran 4 miles in 32 minutes with my cross country team at 5:45 am. Wanted them to get in a little more miles this morning since I'm basically giving them the afternoon off. The whole team is playing ultimate frisbee with my assistant coaches. I don't like to be present at "workouts" like that because I don't ever want my runners to associate me with fun and frivolity. Only pain and suffering.

I'll be bolting up I-15 to Pocatello as soon as school lets out at 2:30. Abby and Andy are really excited about going on vacation. I know it's Pocatello, but we are staying at a hotel with a pool. Also, their will be Fruit Loops at the continental breakfast and Ann never buys sugary cereal - so that's big excitement as well. Packet pickup tonight, probably spaghetti at the Olive Garden and race at 8 am tomorrow.

See you this weekend! I didn't know Poky had an Olive Garden, it must be really new!

I am glad the hotel worked out to your kids expectations.
