Ran a nice tempo run.  It is getting dark much earlier.  Boo.

Yesterday my shoulder was causing me a lot of discomfort.  I have an appointment for Tuesday and I think I'm going to take it easy till I find out what I need to do to rehab it.  It doesn't hurt while I'm running, but it does afterward.

An  easy 5.  I think my shoulder problems may be due to a pinched nerve.  I'll find out tomorrow.  I've never been to a physical therapist except for my sister.  I think I may take this pt's diagnosis back to her.  Problem is that I won't see her for about a month, so she'll have to go by what they say.

5 easy miles.  I feel like that's all I'm doing right now and I'm okay with it.  I don't really have anything on the horizon, just working out, really.  I tried to work on keeping my shoulders down and back and I really tried to breathe out of my nose, but the nose thing was impossible.  So I just made sure to pay attention to my form.

I'm still sore, but I think part of it is just getting used to the position of grading (hunched hopelessly over a desk, feverishly reading paper after paper).  Plus I'm stressed right now with a bunch of papers that I have to get back today and I'm not done with.

Approximate.  I ran two miles with the girls for their warm up, then ran at least a mile during the cool down, then another mile with both teams for a quick cool down after the awards.

The girls won today (a nice plaque and 5 girls in the top 15 won medals) and the boys took 3rd, despite my top two boys winning 1 and 2.  Our #3 was sick and #4 is nursing an injury.  Bummer.

Mileage is approximate.  We were in Peoria today--the kids ran well.  I took only the varsity, so it was a pretty low key race.

 I did a warm up with the girls, ran during their race, cooled down with them, and then since I had some time before the boys' race, continued to run another 3 miles.  Then I ran during the boys' race and cooled down with the boys.
