summer's over/catching up!
thursday: (am) ran ~ 6 miles in samuel taylor park. ran up towards barnabee peak--single track trail--very beautiful--lush, dense forest. gradual uphill climb 1st 3 miles & then turned around. (pm) ran the ma dipsea (except for the final .7 miles). ran w/a friend. pretty warm night. roads/trails very nice. ~48:55.
friday: ~7 miles. ran out/back on the ridge. started on ridgewood drive. ran w/a friend. ran a nice pace.
saturday: 5k xc race. pretty hilly course. a solid gradual climb 1/2 mile into the race followed by another 1++ miles of rolling hills. start/finish on rough patch of grass (lots of holes!). ~19:44 or so. 3rd place. felt strong- not great turn over on the downhill.
sunday: ~ 2 hours 15 min. run. ran up/over the ridge to china camp. ran to the top of the peak and out to the bay on trails. returned on the roads and then ran up/over the ridge. run felt good. ran a good pace.
monday: 1st day of xc practice/school. ran w/the kids. ran out/back to the graveyard. 23:19 nice run, lots of talking and catching up. course entirely on the roads.

Awesome job in the cross country race - 3rd place is great! Was it the shore line race? The one that is uphill for the first half? Were you happy with the results? I hope the school work is not killing you. Keep up the great work!
