AM: Early morning climb of Grandeur Peak.

Back to work tomorrow. The school district pushed back the start of school on week so we teachers have two full weeks of prep time before students arrive. It will be good to get back. Hoping it lasts and doesn't lead to a massive outbreak!

AM: 9.3 miles on the Pipeline. Ran into a former student/runner of mine who graduated from Alta in 2007 and her dog. Spent a few minutes chatting on the trail. She and her husband expecting their first child in January. Still running 40-50 miles/week. Love those experiences.

Basically an unplanned day off. Work and family obligations you know.

So I decided to run a 5k time trial this morning reasoning that with the day off yesterday my legs might have a little extra pop. Called up Kramer Morton last night and recruited him to pace me.

It was a failure. Reinforced some basic principles in my mind like an occasional track workout of 400s or 800s is a good thing if you want to run a fast 5k. Leisurely trail runs looking at flowers and birds are good for the soul but not fast track times.

Came through the mile in 5:58 and 1.5 miles in 8:54 then quit.

Will try to commit to twice weekly workouts and re-visit this in early October.

AM: 9 miles in the gully. Had to take Andy to his baseball game so I didn't get started until 9 am. Too hot already!

Just finished Caste: The Origin of our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson. Revealing and eye-opening especialy if you happen to be white or part of a dominant political and social group.
