pm--5.25 I did some quicker running--sub-8:00 for me--to get the legs moving. They need to be ready to keep up w/ the XC kids next week. I also had a thought or 2 about some races I would like to do this year or at least the kind of races I would like to do.

Spent a long, long day at Disneyland--7:00am-10:30pm--walking constantly in the elements. I'll chalk it up as time on my feet.

Another goose egg. This time in California adventures. There was a bit of running to fetch fast passes and what not, but I'm not counting it as anything but time on my feet.

One more. Not quite as long a day but still no time for a run, as I was watching a sleeping child in the hotel room most of the night.

pm--5 A nice little progressive run to remind the legs that they can run and to christen the new shoes that I broke in for a few days @ DLand. I had a lot of time on the way home to ogle the Mojave.

am--4.5 Did a little barefoot warm-up--.5--on the grass and hit some of our first XC dirt miles on the tortoise road. XC pace will come slowly. 

pm--5.5 Got out on the trails this afternoon. The pace wasn't very stout, but I had to work. I hit the Sidewinder and the near loop of the Barrel Roll.

am--5 Some extra barefoot before practice. We ran Maverick loop backwards, which was nice. Mia's back along w/ many others. The hill up to Maverick made me look silly.

am--5.5 I ran an extra barefoot loop before the warm-up and then we headed up to do some dirt loops. I actually felt pretty good, and the girls were running a pretty good pace. Liz and Kaelie are really pushing. It's great. 

At kid's club, I ran a few loops to finish of the run w/ another group and to help set up cones. The young kids raced today. It was fun to watch. Some of those kids really bring it.

pm--7 So every once in a while, I have one of those nights that I just toss and turn and never really get any restful sleep. Last night was one of those nights. There is no explanation for it, but it happened. Consequently, I wasn't able to answer the morning bell and get to practice, so I ended up getting in a late night run w/ some stouter pace mixed in.

am--5.5 I got to practice a bit early and hit an extra barefoot loop. After a little chatter, we headed up to the dirt loop and did a few miles. We got back and enjoyed another day of kids club. I ran a few loops of warm-up and cool-down w/ my daughters. On another note, my feet/ankles are ghosting small pains.

am--6 Lots of grass today, and it made me happy. I hit a few extra w/ Kaylee before finishing w/ striders. Felt a little sick this morning, but, as always, running made things better. I still have some weird phantom pain in my right leg. It goes away as I get warmed up. Not too worried about it.

am--14.5 Got up early and headed out w/ Fast Cory to the SCRR. We hit Barrel Roll backwards and then the other way w/ the Sidewinder extension. Neither of us felt on top of our game, so we cut the last loop.
