Night run back in Decatur.  Good run to cap off the week.

Ran to the Austin High School XC practice, ran the practice with a couple of the kids, and ran some more afterward.  I'm starting to think that I'm running more than some folks...

Went out to the Tuesday night XC run in Huntsville.  Ran most of the miles with Dink, so it was a pretty enjoyable run.

OK, so only 6 of those miles were technically on Friday, but I figure that a running day ends when I go to bed for the night. In any case, tonight was the Cullman midnight run. Admittedly, I let the first mile get away from me (5:15), but managed to control it for the rest of the way in and clocked a 17:00. Not bad for an ultrarunner, huh?

You know the most depressing part about a 100-mile week?  Starting back at 0 the next day.

Ran to Chula Vista and did hill repeats with the Austin XC team.  Managed to stay with the fast boys on the repeats and did the recovery with Jenn Dunn, so it was a pretty intense workout.  Cut me short on my mileage, but I think the added intensity more than made up for the abridged run.

Not much of a run, but it was good to get out and put in a few miles anyway.  Maybe things will pick back up after I find my way around here.  Supposedly there are some pretty good trails in the vicinity...

Good run-trying to stretch out the legs after doing lunges last night for the first time in about a year.  Needless to say, I'm a tad bit sore, but I think it is a good wakeup call for me if I want to have any success wandering about on the Pinhoti trail all night in the middle of November.

...And thus begins the long run phase of training...

Nice recovery run with Peter; I'm slowly getting used to the hills (I think), which is probably a good thing.

Ran a little 5k in Jackson (16:59).  Some fast boys came out; I didn't even take my age group.  Good run.

I think I thoroughly confused the combine operators in the corn fields outside Belzoni.
