more running...
thursday:
ran around lagunitas lake w/the xc team. ~ 20 minutes max probably. beautiful run. ran nice and easy w/a group of students. though i was running easy i still managed to go flying through the air only to hit the group with a big loud thump. i haven't gone down that hard in a long time.
friday:
day off/ kind of ran all around golden gate park while our kids were running in the league meet. maybe got in 25 mins. of cheering , running, and yelling during the course of the whole event. the kids overall ran really well.
saturday:
ran 64 mins. w/a friend up on crown road. we ran the alternative taz loop. so instead of coming up on the fire road back to railroad grade, we ran up the steep single track trail to hoo koo e koo. we ran at 3 in the afternoon. it was cool, crisp and beautiful out.
sunday:
(am): ran the pa xc champs. didn't feel really great. i ran 25.40 or so for the 4 mile xc loop. i felt strong, not sharp at the beginning or end. it 's a very fun race, very competitive and just a good xc course. one day i'll have the perfect race on the course.
(pm): ran in mill valley in the rain with one of my xc runners. we ran up to crown road from downtown mill valley. from crown road ran the hoo koo e koo loop and then back. it was beautiful to run in the fall rain. the rain wasn't cold. (58 minutes)
monday:
(am): ran 1:02.52 the lyons loop w/my larkspur friend. it's nice to run so early in the morning and have light for half the run now. it was raining on/off during the run. it wasn't pouring. we talked nonstop.
(pm): ran crown road (45+) w/the cross country kids. we ran nice and easy out /back on the flat fire road. it was raining ever so lightly. by the end of the run, the rain stopped and the clouds were lifting, and the views were just amazing.
tuesday:
(pm1): ran a little w/the xc kids at piper park. they were running in/outs on an 800 m. loop. i ran about 3 x 800s with them, plus warm up and cool down.
(pm2): ran over at the san rafael track. ran w/a few fast track friends of mine. ran 3 x 1 mile with a 1 lap jog in between each. i felt pretty tired going into the workout. however, the two friends i ran with pulled me through. i ran 5:47, 5:45, 5:45.
wednesday:
ran the fawn drive loop w/my larkspur friend. we ran over raquetball hill to sir. francis drake. we then ran down butterfield to fawn drive to the ridge trails and back. it was very light out this morning. for most of our run we could see the sun rising. at the end of the run we were confronted with the most beautiful morning sky. a light blue background w/pink and white streaks over the san francisco bay and mt. tam to the side. it was very nice. i took the little dog with me this morning too. she did very well. we ran for 58.37
