This was a nice run and the longest I have run in awhile. It felt good. Time was 30:40 (7:40/mile).

I ran 1.6 with my oldest in 18:50. She is getting in better shape now. Hopefully her first cross country meet will go well next week. I then ran 2.5 by myself in 19:04.

Ran some warmup with my oldest and then did some strides to work on her form. Did a cooldown for about a mile total. Then I ran on my own around the school and did 3 more miles in 21:43 (7:14/mile).
