Tempo Run
Today has been a productive day. I felt like I got so many things done today at work. It just seemed like I was able to get ahold of all the people I needed to talk to and we were able to quickly work out something. I was so tired last week with all the traveling and trying to fit my work and coaching in, but today I am feeling much more positive and like I might actually get caught up on things at work one day. This afternoon I ran a 4 mile tempo run with the top varsity girls. They have a meet tomorrow, but the team they are racing is not very good, so we are taking our top 7 out and letting JV run the race instead. So I took the varsity girls on a workout while the rest of the team did an easy 3 miles. It was fun to just have my little group of girls. It is certianly different having my girls be so fast and not being in as good of racing shape as past years. I get good workouts these days. The 2 girls I ran with finished in 24:35 for the 4 mile course. I was pleased to be able to run that close to 6 minutes, espesially since there are some good hills on that route. I am at home now, and am trying to motivate myself to take a shower and do some stretching. I need to get to bed early tonight, so I can start catching up on sleep from last week.

Your team is really fast!! I am very impressed. Are they nationally ranked? They must be pretty competitive nationally if they can race that fast and run that well just on a tempo run. That's great that you have your little group of training partners! Sleep hard!
