School Fun, Running Fun, CC Meet & a Hotel Stay

Thursday: It was a better day! I went out for a great run. I ran 10 miles in 1:06.40. The 1st 39 minutes was at a good solid pace. Then I began a Fartlek. I ran between 1:25 minute to 2:20 minuets hard/fast with a 1:00-1:10 minute recovery. I was able to get 10 in. I felt good. Corom and Mike then went out for their long run… They returned about 3 1/2 hours later. They got in 18 miles!

They were pretty wiped out. I went to my kindergartener’s class celebration… We had lunch and lemonade.

The girls and I went to cross country practice and sent them on an easy 5 mile shakeout run…

My kids and the other coaches kids just ran around for a while. After practice, we had a team dinner that our captains put on…

Friday: I got up early and ran for 55:13.92. It was a nice recovery run. At home, we got the girls ready for school and then off they went. My youngest and I ran some errands and dropped off some treats for my 2nd oldest’s class (1st grade). Her birthday is tomorrow… 🙂 I then left for a cross country meet and my 2 younger girls went to their friends house (until their babysitter got out of school).

I headed up to Logan (for an over night cross country meet). The HS kids performed so well!!!! They came here and competed (probably the best race so far).

It was not one or two individuals… It was every single one of them! I was a very happy coach today. I saw determination, want and a fight in them. Good times!

It was a great meet… There were 30 (or 31) teams that showed! After the meet, we arrived at our hotel and ate pizza, played games, swam in the pool, etc. I sat down a read a book. 🙂 I had a nice hotel room and it was quiet!

I do miss Corom and the girls though! They were going to come meet me up here but things didn’t work out. They attended a neighborhood BBQ and had tons of fun there. Well it is late and I’m going to bed!
