Turn your rut into a groove.

am--5.75 Green Springs and 4x striders. Fall is here, and it brought the chilly weather. Good group this morning. RHR--49. 

pm--3 Barefoot grass run. Nice weather, nice company. 

am--6.5 Lutheran/Bank+/DI Reverse. Colder morning, warmer pace. Region is today. Here's to kids exploring the 25%. RHR--46. 

am--5.25 Lutheran Loop/Arby's. Fast run this morning. Perhaps, we were blowing off some residual steam from Region. RHR--49. 

pm--5.25 Middleton Loop. Nice run w/ some fun folks. No matter what, I appreciate the time I get to run w/ such great kids. 

am--5.75 A variation of the old morning run near The Canyons. Ran in short sleeves and saw winter breath. There was a calm build to the pace throughout the run. RHR--50. 

pm—5 Chuckwalla Lookout Out-and-back. We had a good group w/ good times.

am--9 BHNP Workout. The workout was a mixture of tempo, 8k, 5k, and 3k paces. The girls packed really well and chipped away at the 25%. On a personal note, it was fun to see that I could stick in there and run a workout w/ this crew. I love working w/ these kids and wouldn't want to be anywhere else. RHR--50. 

pm--7 Hit the BHNP again for the guys' workout. I jumped in on the warm and cool and got some miles while they were rocking it. Both groups looked strong today. Building confidence. On another note, I'm spent. 

am—7.5 most of the way into the campgrounds and back. It was cold, and my body had real trouble getting started. I was able to hit a nice pace on the way back. Big week for me. RHR—56.
