Good morning BT!  I'm getting a little earlier start than usual this morning.

4:30am:  5 mile run on the TM--rain, rain, and more rain in the desert last night and still this morning.

5:30am:  :30 minutes lower body/core.  

I meant to run back to school last night to do a few things but a massive rain/wind storm came through and I was so comfy cozy on my couch I couldn't see heading out in that weather!  The alternative is to get to school early and beat the copy machine hogs!  Lol!

Steve--exactly about HS runners--my boys were dead for about 5 minutes after all those fartleks and then it was back to their usual horseplay.  To have that kind of bounce back would be awesome at 46!

Have a great day!

Send that rain this way, Kim. Today's forecast - high of 95. Sheesh.

5:30 - easy 40' run. Despite the ridiculous heat, it was REALLY nice this morning. About 70, with a light breeze. Run felt great.

6:15 - 20' strength.

Have a great day!

5:30 AM 47 minutes of running.

Plus a whole lot of physical activity on our field trip. I got to go off a cliff three times (two ziplines, one abseil off a 30-meter cliff). For some reason I was quite good at the latter (it helps to have done the route a few times before; no one left on staff has) so now I have a lot of admiring kiddos. I was impressed that most of them eventually made it down on their own steam (a few had to be hauled down by the instructors) with no injuries beyond a few bumps and scrapes.

We have also had epic rain here, and desert it sure isn't. I never knew it could rain torrentially for 3-4 hours until I moved to the tropics. Then it often resumes a few (or several) hours later in a phenomenon we call "Round 2". For the last two nights, Round 2 has hit with thunder and nearby lightning strikes between midnight and 3 AM. Thank goodness our field trip was not rained out--most of the torrential stuff fell at lunch though there was periodic drizzle which kept the afternoon mercifully cool.

Will sleep well tonight. I may pass on the AM trainer ride. I'm pretty far from my next race involving a bike. (Best case scenario, that is next April.)

Happy Fall Y'all!
I did my usual 2 minute plank and 22 pushups while waiting for the coffee to brew. This afternoon I was planning on doing about an hour at the pool, but when I got there, there was the dreaded "Pool Temporarily Closed" sign. So I went back home and hopped on the bike instead. Got a bit over 13 miles in an hour.

I ran into one of the bike cops while on the trail and slowed up and rode with him for a while. Had a nice little chat for about a half mile or so, until we got to the road I leave the trail on to get home. It was nice to see one of them riding a bike. Lately all of them I've seen have been riding these enormous 4 wheel ATVs that take up over half the width of the trail.

Have a great evening,

J White

I'm on the other side of the college-student desk. I'm the one with the red pen in my hand. Those of us with schedules that change from day to day actually have an advantage, I think.
