Turn your rut into a groove.

am--7 6 x 1000 w/ the girls. Most of the repeats were right about 3:50 for me. The girls did great. It was a gut-check workout for me. 

pm--3.75 Warm-up and then Dog Pound backwards w/ a Sandburg's shortcut.  

am--6 Regular morning route. Spent most of my time trying to make excuses for the Arsenal v. Manchester United match over the weekend. 

am--3.5 Warm-ups and cool-down w/ the kids. 

am--6.5 Morning workout w/ the girls--2 x 800, 2 x 400, and 8 x 200 w/ 200 recovery after each. I timed the 400s and 800s and ended up cutting mine short to run across the field and get the girls their times. They work hard and are running well. 

am--6 Morning route at a good pace. And the weather was truly autumnal, Baggs. It's apropo since college football starts this evening. On Wisconsin. 

pm--5.25 Ran to 2450 and ran barefoot on grass.  

am--3 By myself to the Dixie Dr. stop sign and back. I'm loving the morning temperatures. 

pm--6 Went to the region course and did 1 x mile and 2 x 1200 at a tempoish pace. The mile was just over 7 and the 1200s were mid 5s. It was a little hot, but the girls really pushed. And that's saying something in the ankle-deep grass. I missed a good portion of the cool-down. It is my nephew's birthday. Now for a little snooze before the run-a-thon.  

am--10 Early morning miles at the run-a-thon. It was a really fun time, running and playing soccer and farting around on Rock Band.
