14 miles around the Foothill Loop and Sugar House. Very early! Region track meet tonight and tomorrow night, swim meet Friday night, AP practice exam Saturday, Ann working Friday and Saturday nights... might be hard to squeeze runs in.

Good meet tonight at Copper Hills High School. All three of my girls set PR's in the 3200 and Kramer won the region championship in the 1600 outkicking Bingham's Andrew Brewer (the defending 5A state champ in the 1600) in the last 100. It was good for Kramer to get a win against a tough opponent. Slow pace for the first 800 made it hard for anyone to run a great time but my guys all ran tough. Kramer's 800 splits were something like 2:18, 2:07.

3200 and 800 tomorrow for the boys, 1600 and 800 for the girls.

My comment there was unnecessarily harsh. I'm going to delete it.

That's a really good win for Kramer! Brewer is a tough racer, especially in the 1600. Why do we run the 1600 again? Silly distance. Add 9 meters!

I'm feeling pretty swamped this Spring with all this training I'm doing and then I read your posts. Busy life! Awesome!
