Turn your rut into a groove.

am--6.25 The beastly track workout--4 x 30 sec., 3 x 800, and 2 x 1,000. The 4 x 30 sec. felt ok. I was able to stretch the legs a bit. The 800s were blah--all around 3:10ish. The 1,000s were bad and decent--4:15 and 3:58. PH warm and cool. On the coaching tip, the girls ran well. They seem to all be improving. It's going to be a throw-down at region in 2 weeks. 

pm--4.5 Green Springs at a suprisingly good pace, followed by 4 x stadium hills and 4 x 100. Good day in the end. 

pm--10 We ran to Hot Nails and back @ a good pace. Taylor and I did striders and chatted about her Nebo race. Finally, after dinner, I got out for a good run on an old friend of a loop into Green Valley. 

am--4.25 PH warm and cool w/ the kids. After, I hit the DI loop and a 400. The kids rocked their Michigans. 

pm--4.5 Secret rainy route w/ 2 x 400 after. I'm feeling pretty beat. 

pm--4.5 Last night, I went to bed at 8:30, was a little restless, and hit the snooze one too many times. I didn't wake up for a run. So, I'll be hitting something short later. This afternoon we did the traditional Sandbergs, followed by 4 x 200--39, 39, 37, 38. I actually kind of like these. 

pm2--3 For Jake T, listening to my favorite Canadian Americana band, The Band. 

am--6 PH/AC/DI in that order. Running on tired legs. I'm old. 

am--7 Swiss Days w/ Sadie. I wanted to see if I could get her to run the whole time. She did, right @ a 10:00 pace. I added a few more miles up around the high school, dropping down into the 7:00s. It felt nice. The weather was perfect this morning.
