Turn your rut into a groove.

am--9.5 Foremaster/River Trail Loop w/ some steady pace for the last half. I enjoyed the run this morning. Someone is always willing to push w/ me. Today, it was Jacey, and then Ellie came w/ us. RHR--52.

pm--2.25 2450 Park and back after the grass on the ball field was too soggy. 

am--1.5 Weights and Harts run. Nice morning. RHR--51. 

pm--5.75 Hell Hole Trailhead and back. It wasn't too hot, but this was really our first 30+ minute run of the season. We have some new kids out. That's fun. Plus, Decker loaned me some Hokas that don't work for him. I'm excited to try them. Erged 1k. 

I finished The Scarlet Letter for probably the 8th time. It still requires much focus, but the intro chapter was more rewarding this time around. We'll see how well the AP students did with their summer reading. 

am--5.5 Harts/Bank/Backwards DI. I knew I wasn't going to jump into the workout, so I wanted to get some mileage in this morning. RHR--49.

pm--4 Warm-up and Cool-down w/ the kiddos and the recoveries between intervals. Working on getting the pack back. 

am--1.5 Weights and Harts. We've had some beautiful mornings this week. RHR--54.

pm--6 Hospital out-and-back. We kept a solid pace. There is always someone willing to keep things honest. Stuck to the lower end of the minutes this afternoon. The Hokas worked pretty well even though my heel is beat up. Erged 2k.

am--4.5 Pizza Hut/Bank/Running Center. My heel was really cranky this morning, but once I got going, things loosened up. I added a few miles because who knows how many I'll get this afternoon. RHR--54. 

pm--2 I probably ran about that much at the Desert Relays. Another good showing from the kids.

am--8 Miles around the track during the run-a-thon. What a good time to see the kids having fun together. I had some nice chats.
