Beautiful 70 degree day, just a little windy. Track guys went on a 7 miler as tomorrow was going to be their workout, but it is supposed to rain. That normally doesn't stop us from working out, but since Wednesday and Friday will likely be beautiful we opted to push the workout back. Next week is our first meet, a practice meet. Already~! We had the honor of having the old track coach who is now the principal of the school work with our hurdlers tonight. She coached back in the day when our school was winning state championships in track, so yeah she knows a lot more than me....for now. Anyway she was excellent. I took one of the sprinter groups and worked them out. Stopped by the soccer complex on the way home. I always wear running gear to practice, just in case, so I was ready to go. It was already late since we had the old coach there and took extra time, so I knew I would have to get my run in now before the sun set. It started off pretty bad. I'm still pretty fatigued from the 26 Saturday and the 12 plus basketball Sunday. But all the same by 5 miles I was in the groove and the legs flowed forth a nice comfortable pace. I was well within my limits and it was a good easy day for me. This was especially so once the sun did go down as I got cooled off, probably half the reason the last part of the run felt great.
