First morning under 70 degrees since May, and I actually got up and ran!  From the trailhead, did the figure 8 counterclockwise plus north loop for exactly 6 miles.  Overall average pace a bit under 8 minutes, with miles of 8:22, 7:55, 7:55, 7:51, 8:01, 7:29 - not bad for a tubby old sprinter.

Ravine trail plus north loop and then another half mile to find the wife on the trail and then walk back to the jeep with her - nice evening run/walk.

Quick workout this morning on the trails.  Did about 1 mile warmup at 8:30 pace then 8X 1 minute on and 1 minute off (right at 2 miles total).  Seven of the 8 "ons" were sub 6 minute pace, with the last one being the fastest at 5:24 pace.  Finished up with a half mile cool down.  Will probably do another 3-4 miles this evening during the final summer track meet - no grand prix events, so I will just do every event they offer tonight and then enjoy the ice cream social.  After no points in the 2-mile and then being out of town for the 5K, I slipped from 5th to 8th overall, but kept my 1st place age group spot - thats something.  Travis ended up in 3rd overall even though he only ran 3 of the 7 events - punk!

Nice evening at the track for the ice cream social (was actually catered by Fuzions yogurt!).  I did a mile and a half warmup and striders, and then cruised the 100 (14.16), 400 (67) and mile (5:59).  Did about a half mile barefoot cool down on the infield with a couple of the old guys.  It was really great being able to compete essentially the entire summer track series again this year... now to prep for making top 3 overall next year!

After the track meet last night, I probably should have waited until this evening to run, but we have dinner plans so I got out early.  Took it real easy for the figure 8 trail run on overstreet and the ravine trail - right at 9 minute pace.

Slight variation on the over street/ravine trail figure 8 to finish up walking about a half mile with the wife.  Another nice evening after a huge rainstorm earlier in the evening.  Averaged a bit under 8 min/mi.
