Couldn't fit in a run yesterday, but the yardwork and housework and napping was surely beneficial to my training.  Out the door this morning as the sun rose to a lovely 65 degrees.  Ran 5 miles in the neighborhood with the three middle miles down around 7:40 and the others at 8 minutes.  Nice steady run for me.

Had to break out the headlamp to hit the trails this morning - ran the figure 8 plus north loop.  Darkness made for a very tentative first couple miles, but there was enough light by the time I hit the upper loop to move a little faster.  First two miles at 8:30, and the next four steadily dropped from 8 to 7:30 pace.  Nice run.

Well the wife wouldn't let me run yesterday after my colonoscopy, but I got out there this morning in a nice light rain.  Did the north loop time trial thang and actually went a couple seconds faster than last week (4:56).  Easy 2 miles before and easy 2 miles after.  Good to have all this GI bidness behind me now - onward!

Basic figure 8 trail this evening.  First and last miles easy and the middle miles steady 7:30 pace.  Huge race for the boy child in the morning - FSU Invite on the course he first broke 17 minutes on.  He's looking to go 16:30ish - we'll see about that - I expect 16:48.

Got in at least 1 mile of fartlek work this morning at Travis' XC meet, and then ran 4 in the neighborhood steambath this evening - nice steady negative split down to 7:18 for last mile.

Travis continued his progression for the season with a decent 16:56 on a steamier than hoped for morning.  That is the exact same time he ran at this meet last year, but the meet was 3 weeks later in the season and 10-12 degrees cooler.  All-in-all a good effort pointing to nice improvement as we go through the season.  The rest of the squad really struggled for some reason, so that was Trav's biggest concern.  They have a couple weeks to regroup before next meet.
