Started out as a tempo run, but stayed back with the new girl who fell behind.  She just doesn't have the mileage that the other girls have right now.  My legs felt heavy during the first 20 minutes or so.

Did some abs.

Roughly 5 miles.  Did an interrupted run (after a warm-up) with the kids (6-6-5-5-4-4-3-3-1-1) with 2 sets of sit-ups and push-ups in between.  On harder runs I can't always do the full workout with one particular group, so I ended up doing 6-6-5 with my varsity girls and then splitting time with the rest of the groups (who were all at different places).  I ended the last two 1-1 with the varsity girls, though.

So lots of ab work today.

Team meeting today and kids ran later on their own.  I didn't get in a run because by the time I got home and ready to do one, it was storming.  And then my hubby left and of course it cleared up a little.

Instead I did about 40 minutes of yoga.  The first 30 or so was before putting my almost 5 year old to bed and then I tried to get back into it after I put him to bed, but I couldn't.  So I lifted instead.

My kid tried to follow along with the yoga, and he actually did a pretty good job of it.  He was solid for at least 15 minutes and then the moves got too hard for him when we got to the triangle pose.  I was pretty impressed with his ability to follow the directions.

The craziness of school and XC begins...

My running was segmented today and I'm guessing my mileage was slightly more, but who cares.

I ran a warmup with the runners (about 1.2 miles) and then timed them doing their prerace workout (we have a time trial Friday).  They did 6 200s.  Then, after sending them off to their cool down, I ran 2 fastish 200s with my diabetic, who missed a few while she was controlling her levels (for a total of 1/2 mile).  Then I found some of the other groups and finished their cool down with them (for about 1 mile).

 Then I came home and was dissatisfied, so I ran out to the farm.  I ran almost 3 but I don't know exactly.  I ran past the farm and up to where the road goes over the interstate.  At the end I'm glad I didn't go up and over the interstate because I almost got hit by a guy who was FLYING down the road hauling a tractor.  I don't think he saw me until the last second because he was driving in the middle of the road.

I hate running on country roads.  I try to avoid it whenever possible.
