Turn your rut into a groove.

am--5 Harts/AC+. Decent run. The girls have been chomping at the bit since state. What does that mean? RHR--52.

pm--8.5 Long Run into Middleton and up towards the turkeys. We did 2x (1min. and 2 min. pickups w/ 4 min. recovery). Followed it all up w/ barefoot striders. Had some girls braving the run w/ the top group. That's always fun.

am--5.5 DI/Sunrise. Small group at a decent pace. It almost feels like Fall. RHR--49. 

pm--3.25 Round-a-bout run to Hot Nails. We didn't quite make it there because the sidewalk was closed. We did find a staff though. 

am--5.5 DI/AC+. Coudy morning, so the moon and stars weren't as evident as they have been the past few mornings. I'm thankful for these cool, quiet mornings. On another note, my calves are a bit tight. I've stretched more than usual. We'll see how it helps. RHR--51. 

pm--6 Bigger afternoon than I was expecting. Just ran around the track while the kids did their workout, but the miles added up. I did jump in on bits and pieces of the 1,000s w/ the girls. Great stuff from the kids today. 

am--3.5 AC+. I was tired this morning, so I used a few more minutes of shut-eye. Ended up running what the kids run. Thankful for the rain, but the subsequent humidity made my long-sleeve shirt superfluous. RHR--48. 

pm--3 Easy run on and around Telegraph in the rain. 

am--5 Harts/AC+. Good morning run. Coolest of the year. RHR--52.

pm--3 Ice Cream/Costume run. Lots of good costumes. I was Coach Cappy because that was what I could improvise in 5 minutes. Felt dead this afternoon. 

am--6.5 Ran around the Bicentennial Park w/ some tempo and a bit of quicker stuff when I jumped into some intervals. The kids are looking strong. RHR--52.
