am--9.5 Long run from hospital to Sunrise w/ pick-ups. Pretty much all of our pick-ups were uphill and felt awesome. Golden crew. RHR--52.

pm--2.25 Grass loops at Sandstone. Nothing major. 

I finished another book yesterday. George Saunders wrote Lincoln in the Bardo when he learned that Lincoln went to the sepulchre where his son was laid to rest and pulled him out of his coffin to hold him. This was the night of the funeral, more tender than crazy. Most of the novel takes place in between this life and the next, in limbo.

One of the best parts of the book is watching the disembodied spirits enter Lincoln to try and influence his thoughts. In the end they become aware of his innermost thoughts. A particularly moving scene happens when most of the spirits jump into Lincoln to turn him around. The unity of purpose they share brings great things to pass. It's a nice passage on the effects of teamwork. 

I would recommend this book to anyone who could navigate the structure and can stomach some of the dark underbelly of mortal existence.

am--3.75 DI/Weights (Lite)/Harts+. Nice run this morning. RHR--49. 

pm--6 Middleton. Really good group in the beautiful weather. At times, the pace was brisk, but, overall, things were right where they should be. I'm getting excited to see the kids race this weekend.

am--7.75 Morning Workout (2x 1200, 2x (2x 400 and 600) w/ 4x race-pace striders) All of the repeats were at 8k pace. The workout felt good. We had a tight group that really pushes together. This is a good way to start a day--faster, fitter, stronger. RHR--56. 

pm--2.25 DI+. Easy run, and I needed it after this morning.

am--3.75 DI/Weights (Lite)/Harts+. Beautiful morning. I love the sunrises the last few days. Too bad we have to shift back to darkness on Sunday. RHR--51. 

pm--5.25 Green Springs. I could do this run everyday. It was nice and warm out, and with the first meet coming tomorrow, I couldn't stop talking. I'm sure some wish I would just chill once in a while. Oh well.

am--9 Canyons/Huntington meandering. I felt pretty good on the run. I love to finish these Saturday runs feeling spent, and I did. The morning was beautiful. The track meet was great. It gave kids a chance to get their feet wet in competition again. RHR--52.
