Aug. 13th - 17th Mon - Fri.

I have fallen very far behind in my blogging (not my specialty!) so I think I am going to give you this first week of XC practice all in one entry.  Hope you aren't too disappointed! 

Monday - Did the freeway run with mid level kids.  We will have the kids run in groups matched only by running experience, not gender or anything else.  This is the east 56 run I was doing Jan - May without the add-ons, so a little bit less on the mileage today.  Good run by the kids tho for day one!

Tuesday - Today I took some slower runners on a run we called "3rd light".  We go to Carmel Valley Rd., turn left, & head into the canyon and then back to school up some stairs out of the canyon.  Again, our numbers may not be as big as in the past but the strength seems to be good.

Wednesday - Same run as Tuesday, our runs are rather limited when we can't travel too far yet!  The first couple of weeks don't have too much excitement but we do get to meet the new frosh and any new runners that usually come from a different sport.  We are happy to have them as some of our top runners (who are now running for some big schools in the south!) thought they were soccer players!

Friday -  Took Thursday off as many of our young runners can't run 5 days in a row.  I also had Freshman Orientation from 7 - 2 pm and then Frosh Red & Gold from 5 - 9pm, so I was happy to take a little nap in between my commitments!  Anyway, Friday was our 1st time trial.  We have the kids run a 2 mile "race" against the clock to see what group they will run in for the start of the year.  By the way, I'm sure you were aware that this week was very hot & we were doing our best to keep cool!

Got the AFC half marathon on Sunday morning & with the heat, I'm just going to run for the miles!  My friend Jen is whom I think I will be running, but we will see!  Have a great week & I hope to catch up in the somewhat near future!!!!

Total Miles:  1361.25  Pace Runner:  1264.37   + 96.88 miles (dropped a few this week but will be running 13 + Sunday!)

Love to you all who read this blog!  I thank you for all the support!  <3
