80 degrees out.  Ran 9 miles through the hills.  Walk/ran the last mile because my feet are still sore from Boston.  May do trails for the next few days.

Ran while two of my girls went alongside on their bicycles.  We stopped by the track, so I could help my 7th grader learn the concept of interval training.  She's running the mile this year and has decent endurance, but wants to increase speed.  We did 4 x 200 @ about a 6min pace for each one (ranged between 5:55 and 6:23 on my garmin).  Then they hopped back on their bike for a total of 9.5 miles in all. 

Really liked my new shoe, Saucony Mirage- much better cushioning then the Tangents for the forefoot.
