Turn your rut into a groove.

am—6.5 Intervals at 8k pace on the dirt mile. The groups are looking pretty good. I jumped from one group to the other.

pm—2.5 A nice run around Pine Lake. First day of high-altitude camp.

am—5 Out-and-back on the road to Pine Lake. I was able to run and chat w/ some kids I don’t often see on runs.

pm—2.5 Up-and-back on the hill we use for our hill run.

am—9 Long run on the Great Western Trail. This section is more like a Jeep road.

am—6 Grinding hill run. I looked back a bit for some kids. The first had to tie her shoe—let’s get some Velcro for this one—and the second is a newcomer w/ lots of heart. High-altitude camp was a great success. Lots of lessons, volleyball, fun, and tears.

I finished The Sign of Four, the second Sherlock novel, this evening. These stories are decent detective novels. The genre is a favorite of mine.

am—5 A good run w/ 8x striders. 

am--7.5 Looped up by The Canyons. The going was tough at first, but I was able to get the last 3 miles under 8-min. pace. That was fun. I've got some work to do in the fitness department.
