Saturday's run in two parts. First an 8-mile run (56:40) on Beach Drive with Mike, lovely autumn morning down there with the sun out and short sleeve weather hanging on through the month.We picked Tony up at 2.5 or so and got to talking, which meant the pace crept down to 6:50s. Too fast, but oh well.
Then breakfast, then over to the track for Jaguars XC practice. Only two kids showed up, but we had a good workout. About 1.5 miles at an easy pace to Evergreen Park, then stretching/form drills/strides, then about 11 minutes looping the park on the grass with 8 35-50 second fartlek intervals thrown in. Then another six minutes back to the track. Even though it's a little disappointing, the small turnout kind of helps when it's the right kids because they stay focused rather than goofing around or complaining. Fun practice, and they were beat by the end.
