pm--4 Pre-race Sandbergs w/ 4 x 200. The 200s were hard, but it felt good to push. I love slamming the last 100 of each of those.

pm--4 Pre-race Sandbergs w/ 4 x 200. Hit the last one in :34. Back feels way better today.

am--4.5 Nice warm-up and 1.5-mile tempo w/ the girls. (They are packing up so nicely lately.) Then hit an extended DI cool-down. It was funny to see the steam come off of kids as they did track work. 

pm--3 Hot Nails w/ the girls, acting goofy.

am--10 Nice longish run. I didn't set an alarm. Just got up when the body said it was time and headed out for a run. I wanted to get some steady state/tinman (7:01-7:35) miles into the run. I decided to throw in some 10-minute sections--3 to be exact. I wasn't too concerned about a strict recovery in between. I just wanted to get some stouter running today. Overall the run turned out great. Average pace--7:44. It seemed that my legs wanted to keep close to the faster pace even during the off sections. Nice confidence run.

am--6 Usual Tuesday morning run in slightly colder weather @ a more sensible pace.

pm--3 Went over to help w/ the region course, but, lo and behold, Supah Dave already had it in pristine shape. I couldn't coach w/ a better guy. Region went very well. (Much thanks to the parents and everybody that helped.) The kids ran hard and placed well, and many kids run very encouraging races. My cheeks hurt from smiling; I'm so proud of the kids. FOR THE APPENDIX.

pm--7 School was stupid busy for me today, so I didn't end up running with the awesome kids. To top it off, my wife had Young Womens. I opted for the tready & hit some decent steady state miles--15 min. @ 7:30, 5 min. @ 7:20, & 5 min. @ 7:13.

pm--7 Had a meeting after work, so I didn't run until later in the evening. I ended up running 30 minutes in the steady-state range (~ 4 miles). It feels good to get a chunk or 2 or 3 of those mid-7s miles every week. I hope it will pay off. On a less happy note, I think I'm getting sick.
