am--8 Dino Tracks w/ striders after. The run was good and difficult at the same time. Actually, the beginning--the climb up to the trail--was hard. I ended up doubling back for a few girls. It was awesome to see the girls packed up and running together. What great kids. RHR--53.
am--7 Dirt-Mile Progressive Run. We had a good pack today--minus 2-3 girls--and stuck together pretty well. 4 laps were ~8:00, 7:50, 7:40 and 7:30. It's fun to see people continue to believe in themselves when things get shaky. Days like this require some visualization to really prime the pump. RHR--54.
am--6 Chuckwalla Loop. It was a great morning to be running. As usual on the trails, we had some people take some wrong turns. (I'm sure it was the faulty instructions from yours truly.) Also had the privilege of running w/ Kaylee B. A. That was nice. I hope she has a wonderful xc season. RHR--52.
pm--7 Another 60-minute run w/ 7 x 1 min. pickups in the middle. They were anywhere between 7:15 and 7:30 w/ 3 min. recovery. Just something to get the legs moving a bit. RHR--52.
