pm--3 Setting up and taking down the course for the Dixie Meet. It was fun to see our kids run well and have the focus on some other kids today.

am--5 DI/AC. A decent run w/ some scaries stories to boot. Of course, they are "true" stories. The past day or two, I feel like I just can't get enough sleep. I'm feeling beat down. We'll see how that plays out. RHR--54.

pm--4.5 Sandhill workout for the kids. I drove the ice chest up and ran down to meet them. After, I dropped the box off and ran up to meet them. I love how well these kids get along.

am--5.5 DI/End of the wall. Decent run. The legs are in some kind  of no man's land, not quite tired but not peppy either. We have the run-a-thon tonight. I hope this old man can handle staying up. RHR--52.

pm(late)--3 Some miles around the track at the run-a-thon. Kids seemed to have fun.

pm--7 Mid-distance run w/ 6x 1 min. pick-ups and 8x striders. I wasn't sure how far my legs would take me, but after 5 miles I was still feeling good. Decided to go for the 50-mile week. The pick-ups and striders felt great. The long weekend will be good.

am--7 Usual morning route in SC. It was nice out, but I was dragging. My body never got into the groove. Nevertheless, what felt like a slog ended up being a decent clip. RHR--56.

am--6 Fartlek Work on the new State Course. We ran the course w/ a map, trying to find our way, flipped it, and hit 1, 2, 3 min. fartleks at just faster than race pace. The first few felt good. Needless to say, the girls kicked my butt on the last few. They really pushed. I'm so pleased by their effort the last 2 days.

pm--5 Sandhills. OK, I didn't do any sandhills, but I ran up there w/ the kiddos and watched as they rocked those hills. It's workouts like these that make champions.

pm--7.5 Moe's w/ Tom. We did the Moe's loop without the water tower extension. It was warm out, and I could feel the rest of the week in the climbs. I'm out of trail running shape. Good meet from the kids this morning. Many folks w/ breakthrough races.

am--3.5 Hit some trails in the Boise Foothills w/ Jesse. What a beautiful place. Apparently, there are miles and miles of groomed trails up there. This would be a great place to have in close proximity. After, the girls ran well at Bob Firman. They finished 5th in the elite race. Fun trip even though it was a long trip.

am--5 DI/AC+. A nice run this morning w/ some good chat. I really love these skeleton crew/level 3 runs. It makes for a nice, small group. RHR--52.

pm--5 DI/Grass Loops. We did a little more before we got to the grass. Someone found a bouncy ball that didn't have the truest bounce. It was nearly a casualty 2 or 3 times.
